Fort William Bouldering wall

This evening Myself, Dad and Nikki went to Fort William bouldering wall. I really like the bouldering wall because there are some really good problems. I was trying a purple boulder problem and I found a really good knee jam rest to rest on.

You can also plug in your own i-pod and boulder to your own music... how cool is that!!
