- The moon goes down behind the awe-inspiring Creag an Dubh Loch
- The 300m high Central Slabs flanked by the Hanging Garden (left) and Central Gully Wall
- Looking across the loch to Eagles Rock, scene of our icy encounter with The Drool
- The giant sweep of the Central Slabs. Cyclops takes a direct line up the middle, moving right around the main overlaps
- A seemingly never-ending maze of slabs, cracks and overlaps – perfect!
- Tussling with the overlap on the first 5a pitch, with a long way still to go…
- The immaculate cracks of pitch 2, as cruised by Debs
- At the start of the technical crux – a flared, holdless groove finishing with a tricky mantel onto a sloping ledge
- Full concentration required as Debs trusts the foot smears and begins to squirm her way up
- Looking south east along the Dubh Loch towards Loch Muick and Deeside
- With the crux safely dispatched, Debs enjoys the brilliant climbing in the Crescent Groove
- Questing upwards – only three more pitches to go!
