Creag Bhuidhe aka Laggan 2

I've finally got round to making these and putting them online.  A couple of topos of the main blocks at Creag Bhuidhe at Laggan, i.e. the South side of the hill with the monument on South of the village.  

Park considerately on the long straight on the A889, just before it turns West and meets the A86, South of Laggan.  Cross the field on the West of the road, heading up into the valley on the South side of Creag Bhuide.  Go through a gate, and follow the fenceline to the reach the boulders (10 mins). The main focus is on the big blocks that you first reach at the bottom of the scree and boulder jumble, but a few problems lurk on bigger blocks in the jumble.

Gale Force is a properly brilliant problem, not just by Strathspey standards, and doing it from a sit start just prolongs the pleasure.  Font grades throughout.
