New Invergarry Ice Route

The prolonged cold spell round here has led to lots of local frozen waterfalls. Rich and I decided to tackle the big one in Glengarry forest that I don't know that name for, easy enough to find, park at Glengarry forest and follow the yellow way marked trail, about 20 mins or so.



The climbing wasn't that steep or difficult but has a nice short steep section and the route divides nicely in to a couple of pitches. We don't have much (any) experience in grading these things but we reckon about grade II. The name of this new route? We decided on Viagra Falls, it could have been harder.

Edit - Dave the Bowls president informs me the waterfall does have a name - Allt Na Calliche (or something similar) thanks Dave.
