© Hannah Vickers We (Debbie Spencer and myself) climbed a mixed route called Right End Buttress on Fuar Tholl with Martin Moran during a weekend of instructed climbing.It wasn't a particularly dry day and for the most of it we were in low cloud and damp air; the walk up from the valley and into the coire itself was a bit wet underfoot, and very mild. But it wasn't properly raining, which was a positive thing! We climbed as two teams of 3, with Ewen leading the guys; it was a beautiful route with some elegant moves and I thoroughly enjoyed the problems. Overall I think it added up to 4 pitches (?) in length, the hardest of which were contained within pitches 1 and 2. There are opportunities for harder variations of the route (which we of course found ourselves climbing since it was Martin leading!) The summit >>>
