Red
Cuillin from
Suidhe Biorach.
Myself and Kathryn have spent the last couple of days rock climbing on the
Isle of Skye. No midges this time of year but we did have a fair good old British mix of weather, everything from thick wet rain to glorious warm sunshine! Yesterday the main mountain area was very wet, but the southern peninsula with
Suidhe Biorach was glorious. We climbed a few routes on this great 30m sea cliff,
Jurassic Quartz Sandstone, very
grippy and solid.
Photos - Right, 'the Cenotaph Corner of Skye' Jamie Jampot VS, 4c and Below, Hairy Mary. Today we travelled to the west of the island to
Neist point. More great
Cragging, at the Financial Sector, this time Dolerite. Very good quality climbing and great looking lines, very much like
Fairhead in Northern Ireland. More 3 star routes like
Bridging Interest (photo below) and
Venture Capital. Slightly more drizzle and overcast today, Snow only here in patches high up.
Bridging Interest, HVS 5a. 3 star and well worthy! 
Neist Point at sunset.
