July 28th-29th: Isle of Skye, Cuillin Mountains
A long way north for a couple of days in the mountains. Not so much work this time but a couple of day out with some old friends guiding the Pinnacle Ridge on Sgurr nan Gillean, an amazing ridgeline with 5 towers en route. Very reminiscent of the Alps, except with a load more rain.
On the second day we drove round to Glen Brittle and had another magnificent scrambling day on Window Buttress followed by the Inaccessible Pinnacle. Great exposure, an abseil descent and a quick run down to get Fish and Chips.
