Hi folks,
I'm trying to develop my head for heights - I love mountain walking and scrambling, but sometimes find that I avoid particular routes as a result of being afraid. With indoor climbing I tend to stick to bouldering.
I've done Curved Ridge twice as a stepping stone in getting over my wobbles, the first time in mist (and absolute terror!) and the second time on a very dry, sunny day and had a fantastic time with no fear whatsoever.
I'm hoping to do Aonach Eagach this summer, but wondering if it might be a bit too scary for me just yet. Anyone willing to compare the scariness of AE vs CR? My intention would be to solo it.
Any info welcome. I've watched a bunch of videos but don't always find them that representative - the curved ridge videos definitely make it look scarier than it is.
Cheers!
