We went to EICA Ratho for a day of climbing. Upon arriving at the EICA the group discovered the enormity of the walls in comparison to the Ibrox. However the size of the walls comes at a cost as a room this size can't be heated without excessive cost, there was also some weather damage to one of the sides of the building (this is just made of tarp so there was no danger to us), as a result it was very cold especially at the beginning.
As the day progressed so did our ambitions with a few of the longest routes available getting checked off. Then we headed inside to the bouldering area to warm up and continue climbing.
Next we went for a lunch which was a little on the pricey side but was delicious none the less.
Following which we went and had another blast in the cold, we managed to get some great routes done before calling it a day.
All in all everyone had a great time and enjoyed the experience of the larger walls.
This blog contains the adventures of the Glasgow Caledonian University Mountaineering Club (GCUMC) and what we plan to do over the next few weeks. We go Climbing every week during university term time and every 2 weeks for Mountaineering Trips. At the end of each trip there will be a trip review alongside the photos taken on the trip.
