Round of Coire Lagan

Image
The Round of Coire Lagan was a grand finale for our second week here on Skye. We were treated to that wonderful combination of sunshine, clouds, sea and of course mountains. What a way to end the trip! Massive thanks to Rach, Claire, Fliss, Mark, Moz and of course David & Huw for a mega week. 

Spar Cave

  There were bright skies from mid-afternoon onwards but that wasn’t the case this morning. With the rain pouring down we took the option of a team outing to our regular Skye poor weather haunt of  Spar Cave . We’ve added elements to the itinerary over the years and along with a long abseil into the zawn, a trip into the cave and a sea level scramble out we set up a Tyrolean traverse across the zawn this time.

Sgurr nan Gillean

I’ve had a lovely day today, traversing Sgurr Nan Gillean with Claire and Rachel. We had perfect temperatures, dry rock and some lovely views and barely saw a soul all day. 

The Spur

All change this week on Skye. We’ve had sleet on the tops, strong winds and some heavy rain low down. All a long way from last weeks sunshine! Nonetheless we’ve had a great day out with Mark and Mozz being looked after by David, Fliss with Huw and I teamed up with Claire. 

Cuillin Ridge Traverse

Congratulations to Tom and Laura who have rounded off a fine week on Skye with a two day traverse of the Cuillin Ridge with Huw. They did every summit and all of the climbs with a chilly bivvy on Thursday night - a fantastic achievement on the greatest mountaineering expedition in the UK.

Dubhs Ridge

Doing the Dubhs today. You have to move quick to do it boat to boat including Sgurr Dubh Mor - which the team did. Great effort Lucy, John, Steve and Rich. What a mega day! Big thanks to Rusty @snowdoniawalkclimb and lovely to bump into @roam.mtns too.
