    Why does “Scotland is still in the UK…for now” sound like a thinly veiled threat that Dave is going to single-handedly remove British control from Scotland.

      Yes, in my next vlog episode I’m going to roll all the boulders I’ve found to the English border to make a giant wall and leave all the best projects on them facing north.

    That 7B looks rad.
    I've spent a summer looking for new lines, without much success. Often if you find a bloc it's hidden in the boreal forest beyond a tedious approach with problems consisting of 2 moves haha.
    Hope to come across one by just looking out the car window someday.

      Yes scouting for new stuff is so random. I've done loads missioning and finding stuff I would not even bother to take my shoes out for. And then other times just finding really nice stuff just next to a popular path.

    Very cool, looked fun. There's still new problems to be found! Did a couple of nice (easy) ones in North Wales this summer on a block I'd spotted years ago and finally walked back to and cleaned, so satisfying.

    Off topic but I found this very interesting and kinda funny:
    I just read that Scotland is rising (3mm/year), because of past glacier loss (~10000 years ago) , while England is sinking (2mm/year). :D
    (Source: Mark Maslin - Climate Change - A Very Short Introduction / Oxford University Press ... great book!)
    Oh ... and great lines and video as always!! Scotland is definitely on my bucket list and you are the reason for it.

    Dave- what temperature do you typically consider too cold for bouldering?

    • @climbermacleod
      @climbermacleod  2 роки тому +2

      Depends on wind and sun really. But in shade below minus 5 is maybe a bit hard going. In sunshine I don’t think I’ve ever come across temps too cold.
