Skye
















I spent most of last week on Skye with Liz, a returning client from Ireland. We were surprised to get 3 dry but cool days on Skye, staying at the Glen Brittle hut. Our first day was spent single pitch climbing at Neist Point, day 2 on the ridge traversing from Bannadich to Mhadaigh and then our last day was spent on Pinnacle Ridge. We then escapsed back East as the usual Skye weather returned, gale force winds and rain. Our final day was spent at Cummingston single pitch climbing.
The first snows have arrived and a believe winter routes have been climbed!
