The Friday Matinee!

It's winter, so where better to go than the Cairngorms. Afternoon streaming video for you :-)

Well, if it's Friday - yes, I know, predictable - then it must most definitely be time for the Friday Matinee, our handy time-killing Friday afternoon selection of streaming video and seeing as it's pretty much the start of winter, what better than some Cairngorm winter climbing to whet your appetite for the white stuff?

This Aladdin's Mirror Direct in the northern corries. A short but sweet crux, but where's all the spindrift that was pouring down my neck when I did it eh?


And as an antidote to those perfect conditions on Mirror Direct, here's a more familiar Cairngorm scenario on Y Guly Righthand. Taste the spindrift, love the wind...


More authentic Cairngormness on this video of an ascent of Fingers Ridge. Makes you want to get out there and climb eh?


And last but not least, this is Spiral Gully at the beginning of December 2008, nice :-)


And that's all for this week, but there's more on YouTube if the clock's still on a go slow...
