While climbing Aqualung at Denison Crag I noticed a bolt on the face to the left. The bolt has now been removed. A reminder that Ben Lomond is a bolt free zone.

The link from the Springs to the start of the N-S track has been opened:

ON Tuesday(Jan 12th), after going into town for a rest day, 7 cams were stolen out of my tent by persons unknown. The description of the gear is as follows: 2 C-3's sizes 1 and 2, 2 Camalot cams sizes 3 and 4, and lastly 3 omega link cams sizes .5, .75, and 2.
I am absolutely gutted from this happening and am blown away that it could occur in such a remote location. Our tent was hidden far away behind the Carra Villa Hut but obviously this wasn't hidden well enough. I've been 3 months on the road and this totally derails my future climbing plans. Bummed.

Please everyone be cautious about where you leave your gear and keep your eyes open if you see someone trying to pawn off any link cams on the internet.
If anyone has any leads or comes accross this gear for sale on E-bay or elsewhere, please contact me at nt0828@westminstercollege.edu

Safe climbing,
