found an antler on the hills. Descending the next day off a certain Cairngorm Ben (to remain nameless) we came across a small antler sticking out of the snow. Pulling on it we found we had a complete set, at least a 12 pointer (these grow with the telling). Trouble was as we pulled further we found we had the entire stag attached. The question was do we undertake a bit of surgery with my (t)rusty Curver and drive down the Glen with our trophy attached to the car or do we leave nature to do the rest. The stag was too majestic to touch so he’s left to nature. I might just try and find him in the summer though. Congratulations to both Andrew Earl and Karin Magog who have been doing fantastically well on the competition scene and to Alan Hinkes on the award of an OBE. Andrew has won the British Bouldering Championships for the third year running, a truly international star he provided an excellent Talk a few Wednesdays ago and proved he is equally able on the lecture circuit. Karen came second overall in the BICC leading competition. It is with some sadness that, as the newsletter is about to go to print, that we learn of the deaths of two club members Teddy Judge and John Green. Our thoughts are with their families and friends. Thanks to all for their contribution to this newsletter. Look forward to seeing you all on the crag this summer.
