Dave MacLeod mit Erstbegehung "From the Depths" E7 6c

Dave MacLeod meldet auf Instagram die Erstbegehung der Route „From the Depths“ (E6, 6c) am Creag Mo auf der Insel Harris Schottland. Nach Aussage von Dave bietet die Route auf fünfzig Meter genialen Fels und großartiges Klettern. Der Name bezieht sich auf die benachbarte Route „Drive Station“. Der Routenname ist auch eine Hommage von Dave an den SMC-Kletterführerautor Nisbet.

„The Hard Drive E7 6c, First ascent on Creag Mo, Isle of Harris. Brilliant rock and 50 metres of great climbing. The name is related to the adjacent route Drive Station. But I also wanted to make a reference to a friend Andy Nisbet who died earlier this year. It will be the first time I will post a new route without having an email from Andy drop in my inbox asking me for a description for the SMC guidebooks. His meticulous work of compiling route information in Scottish climbing for decades was unrivalled as far as I have seen in any other countries I have climbed in. Besides his guidebook work and personal new routing, Andy was also known for tearing around the highlands at high speed in his car. So I thought it would be nice to name the route after @fredmorrisonpiper mental tune. „
