Skye – ‘Classic Rock’ and the ‘Inn Pinn’
We have just had an awesome stint on Skye! The weather has been like nothing I can remember, hot and clear with views over the western Isles. Climbing on crags such as Sgurr Alasdairs South Buttress and being too hot in a t-shirt is new to me…
Amongst the various outings there was an early morning ascent of the Inn Pinn for Skye Guides, Mike Lates, a ‘Classic Rock’ day on the Cioch Face clocking up 14 stars, a 4 star route on Sgurr Alasdair and a coastal outing at Kilt Rock….
The past few days were Skye at its best, when like this there is probably no better place to be climbing in the world!!!
Thats what we want to see!
