Si Cherrett Mountaineering

More Beast Race 2026 shenanigans as we continue the build for this year's event.

Granite City for me for the next wee while.

There will be some proper updates inbound when I get a minute.

Beast Race

Build team assemble.

Another day of climbing shenanigans.

Working for Sam Percival at Cummingston, which I'm pleased to say has not been affected by the recent wildfires at Hopeman.

Thanks to Scottish Fire & Rescue Service and everyone else involved in getting that nipped.

A family group with young people today so not much in the way of pics I'm afraid.

Good to see the recent work put in by some of us and others in trying to get the graffiti off the prophet wall has somewhat worked.

KIT FAFF...

Nod to the one and only Dolly

An absolute belter of a day at the Bealach na Ba - Sword of Gideon VS4C.

125m, 4 glorious pitches of rough Torridonian sandstone climbing bonanzas.

A day of personal climbing as I work towards 'other' qualifications in the climbing world.

A day out on Sgòr Gaoith (windy peak) with today.

Sgor Gaoith is a mountain peak in the far western massif of the Cairngorms. A munro at 1,118 metres (3,668 ft) high It is the highest point on a long north-south ridge, separated from the Braeriach massif to the east by Gleann Eanaich and Loch Eanaich.

A good weather day with a light breeze keeping the little biting things at bay.

A week away from home in the Highlands to the glorious South of England, checking in with family.

Climbing (standard) Withdean Sports Complex with Claudia and Amelia Cherrett with some ape index checking.

Introducing Amelia Cherrett to the Cherrett Scottish family heritage in Fair Oak (as close to being Scottish as I can claim to be, my grandparents lived in Scotland Close when I was a kid).

More climbing with Callum Douglas at Blue Spider Climbing in Guildford.

And a random cat loving the HOT weather.

Oh and thanks for the warm weather warning... I can't say I've noticed. I have, I really have...

A day of teaching adaptive climbing with Equal Adventure and theledgeclimbinggym at Comic Crag.

Again, must do better with taking pictures...

A few weeks back I discovered that some idiots had decided to paint Cummingston crag.

Today, a few of us went with buckets and brushes to try and fix it.

Trying to remove the damage to the rock without using chemicals or super abrasive brushes on the sandstone proved a bit of a struggle, but we managed to break down some of the paint and clean it up a wee bit.

Hopefully a bit of rain will give it a further clean, but if others go there and have a spare 10 mins and a brush you never know we could get it all off over time and save this outstanding place from looking like a city centre bus stop.

Cummingston Crag on a rare morning (this month) away from work.

When you realise having this place so close to home that perhaps you should get out and enjoy it more.
