Today Ian had a quiet day whilst Ann and I headed up Ben Nevis to climb Glover's Chimney IV

This great route climbs the buttress to join No 3 Gully buttress for the last pitch. I feel the direct finish is the best finish.

Whilst sitting on the summit, taking in the rope for Ann, a helicopter came in and collected a climber who'd fallen on North Gully and broken his ankle. Chatting later over food it turned out another instructor,
Dan Robinson, who I was eating with had witnessed the fall and arranged the rescue.
