Scrambling on Skye

 We’re up on Skye for two weeks now which is very much a highlight of my year. The weather reminds me of the established high pressure systems we used to get in the 1990s when I first started visiting the Cuillin - perhaps that’s just rose coloured spectacles though! It is without doubt the best scrambling in the UK and in this weather there’s no where else I’d rather be. Huw took Tom and Laura up Naismiths Route on Am Basteir whilst Rusty and I took Steve, Rich, Lucy and John over Mhadaidh, Greadaidh and Banachdich. Stunning!

Teaching winter mountaineering

Teaching winter mountaineering today with Fabio and Mark. It’s been a bit more blustery than of late so we stayed lower and got them on the sharp end in ascent and descent. Bit of a turbo thaw coming in tomorrow but a great start to winter. Fancy joining us for more of this? Check out Expeditionguide.com for our full winter programme.
