Colmcillers, Bill, Marty, Peter McConnell,Ian Chestnutt, Sandra Kennedy, Ronnie Smith and self took up residence in a very comfortable house above Vermork Bridge. Not sure what Ronnie and Ian did (hard things probably) but we were on Kvita on the first day, (the routes on Bolgen being mainly absent without leave), and thereafter Krokken, Ozzimosis area,and Vermork Bridge on the last day. A lot more snow than last year meant that we were dubious about going into the more remote routes we had planned.

Disclaimer: Climbing is a dangerous
activity. Potentially lethal. People can, and do, get killed (usually as a result
of a fall). Colmcille Climbing Club (heretoafter referred to as "The Club")
and Pete Smith cannot take responsibility if you decide to go climbing and
subsequently fall as a result of reading this website. In fact, the last
thing we want you to do is fall. That's not to say that we want you to fall,
or that we want it to be the last thing that happens to you; what we mean
is that we don't want you to fall at all. We don't even want you to go climbing
unless you want to: it's your choice. We like going climbing and we think
you'll enjoy it too, but if you do go, don't come running to us whingeing
if you happen to get hurt. If we said to put your hand in a fire, you wouldn't
do it, would you? And if we recommended putting your hand in a fire (which
we don't) we would suggest that you wear fireproof gloves and stuff, and
that you have a bucket of water nearby. So if you decided to go climbing,
we would suggest using ropes and stuff, and having a first aid kit on hand
because accidents can and do happen and they're not always fatal.
The Club does not have any more accidents than any other organisation that
indulges in potentially lethal activities, so it's not down to us. It's not
our fault. Gottit?
