well, it's impressive. you're not going to want to leave. the moderate mulit-pitch routes there rival, if not exceed, those at the 'Gunks. Some will say they exceed the 'Gunks because they are longer, but some will say the 'Gunks exceed RR because they are simply better and easier to access.
To each his own. Both are at the top of my favorite places to climb...and the others aren't even close.

Just bought the following artist's software: ArtRage, and I gotta say it's pretty sweet.
For artists out there, the trial version lasts forever and actually has a lot of really good features to use. I decided to buy the full "studio" version because it is currently 50% on sale at only $20. The "pro" version is a lot more expensive and has more features than I really want (at least right now).
Anyway, it's pretty sweet and I'm kind of stoked (in a dork / geek kind of way) to have it. The only downside is that I don't have a writing / drawing pad yet (takes the place of a mouse, but you can draw on it). Those suckers cost over $150 at least, but in the meantime I can learn to get good at drawing with a mouse.
My favorite feature thus far is the trace method where one uploads a photo to practice drawing techniques.
Did I mention I'm kind of excited?

so this is my very first creation (just playing around). I call it "Blue Monkey"
click on the full screen and you can see how advanced this software is. Of course, I can't compare with other artist softwares, but this is pretty advanced in my book.

I am tempted to run the new GNOME on my archlinux partition, though I am pretty sure JT512 and the rest of the followers of the arch way will hunt me down and beat me to death with the xmonad instruction manual (which would take a while - not many instructions).

Maybe we will hit the Ben, but it's such a long walk in, and it's always crowded at the weekend... Maybe on Monday.
Thinking about it, we should DEFINITELY hit the Ben, I mean - that is what Scotland is famous for, right? Ben Nevis.
