In September 2024, a group of ICMC climbers went to Scotland with the aim of making first ascents in new crags. After a week of bad weather on Skye, the group moved to the isle of Gometra (off of Mull), where we established first ascents in a new crag named Tòrr Mòr (West). The group then spent some time on Erraid for some granite trad climbing, where 3 further first ascents were climbed. Finally, a few multi pitches in Glen Nevis rounded off the trip, including an unfortunate injury which required some self-rescue and a trip to A&E. Read all about it in the trip report!
