Following on from a recent discussion:

I'm just back from a jaunt to Vietnam, where we did some DWS for the first time. At some of the crags, there were floating villages only 200 feet away, in the middle of this climbing paradise. We wondered, would these be the world's best located climbing huts?

It got us talking about climbing huts that never were - buildings in the best locations for climbing whose owners, with their normal lives, so selfishly declined to convert into accommodation for people who inexplicably like to go up (and down) lumps of rock.

Any that spring to mind?

In reply to fuzzysheep01: thinking of some meteora monasteries ... and the old camping meadow in the paklenica gorge that was converted in a military camp during the war.

Balmoral Castle springs to mind.

Good howf for climbing at Lochnagar and handy for the Pass of Ballater.

Plenty of wood for a fire at night.

Unfortunately "sticky vicy" got her hands on it first.

Yeah, I'm thinking, Edinburgh Castle, Arthurs Seat?

Sigiraya, is there even a chipshop nearby?

I'm sticking with Lochnagar for now.

May be not best but the Rising Sun pub at the top of Wintour's, now closed (or at least it was last year).
