Scotland
In February, Michelle Kadatz, Paul McSorley, Raphael Slawinski, Marc Andre Leclerc, Ian Welsted and Paul Bride spent two weeks climbing in Scotland. Kadatz and Walsh climbed Knuckleduster, Scottish grade vii 9, of which Walsh said, “It was so plastered in rime and verglas that route f inding was really diff icult as there are many small precarious holds and not very obvious gear through the crux.” Welsted and Tom Livingstone climbed The Gathering viii 9. Leclerc onsighted Happy Tyrolean’s X 10, in howling winds and snow, with Walsh. Slawinski made an ascent of The Secret xiii 9.
