The route provided six pitches and 200m of climbing in all.<\/p>\n<p>As Nick is getting old (nearly 50) he\u2019s developed a habit of leaving things behind \u2013 on this occasion it was his harness, so we made one out of slings and led in blocks. So after he led the entry pitch I led the two main pitches on Bludger\u2019s, the second of which (the Link pitch) was quite serious to start and very precarious. Nick then led the next two pitches, including Bloody Crack. I guess I could have given him a loan of my harness for this, but in my experience those lessons learned the hard way tend to stick for longer. As it turned out he was lucky as it would not have been advisable to fall off the top half of the pitch anyway!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nick Bullock and Guy Robertson made a significant addition to Buachaille Etive Mor\u2019s Slime Wall on March 27 with the first ascent of Cold Revenge (IX,8). \u201cWe started up the first three pitches of Bludger\u2019s Revelation, then climbed a short &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scottishwinter.com\/?p=3878\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[289,5,21],"class_list":["post-3878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-new-route","tag-buachaille-etive-mor","tag-guy-robertson","tag-nick-bullock"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.scottishwinter.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.scottishwinter.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.scottishwinter.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.scottishwinter.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.scottishwinter.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3878"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"http:\/\/www.scottishwinter.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3878\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3890,"href":"http:\/\/www.scottishwinter.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3878\/revisions\/3890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.scottishwinter.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.scottishwinter.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.scottishwinter.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
