It's been a brilliant Autumn weekend, with warm sunshine and cold nights. The drop in overnight temperature has really helped the colours to change and Owen, Donald and I had a great afternoon bouldering in Glen Nevis on Saturday surrounded by fiery reds and browns. The rock was bone dry and the temperature good enough for T-shirts.

There are countless boulders in Glen Nevis with good problems on them. Two of the most popular are Heather Top and Cameron Stone, found on the gentle slope under the main crags of Polldubh, a couple of hundred metres up from the Lower Falls. Being just 30m off the road makes them super accessible, perfect to fill a couple of hours.

They are also child friendly - Owen isn't three yet and he was bouldering on the smaller rocks having a brilliant time!

Bouldering in Glen Nevis is described in the books "Stone Country" by Tim Morozzo and "Glen Nevis Bouldering" by Tom Ballard. Lochaber has fantastic climbing for all levels - to find out more click here. - Mike
