Mark Stevenson writes, „After our mini-epic on Centurian yesterday we spent an hour and a half walking into the West face of Aonoch Dubh in torrential rain this morning before common sense prevailed. Conditions in the Highlands are now too wet for anyone, even as mad as us, to climb extreme routes safely.We are now heading South to Yorkshire, the Peak and the Lakes where there is less chance of us killing ourselves trying to climb in the rain.“ Mark Stevenson and Rich Mayfield are attempting to climb all 60 routes in Ken Wilson´s Hard Rock in five weeks.
