| On our first climb at Meall Deas, Rubha Hunish, North Skye |
This week I bought the new SMC Guidebooks for Skye, and we were keen to use one of them straight away, so with a packed van we headed off to try some of the Northern Skye Sea-Cliffs. We managed to avoid the showers yesterday and today and got some good climbing done on some remote sea cliffs. We were the only climbers any where to be seen, and these venues don't feel too commonly visited. We found some loose rock which was a bit unnerving, vegetated starts and ends, but some very good quality climbing. On the sea cliffs I was very glad that I had brought a separate abseil rope, so that the tops of all the climbs were rigged. The rock we found (a few times under lichen) was always rough offering hugh friction (I rarely used my chalk!). We'll be back :)

| We discovered that there is a lot of loose rock, lots of vegetation at the bottom and top and very little evidence of traffic! |
 |
| Some of the pitches were excellent on perfect rock |
 |
| The scenery was fantastic with a good sense of remoteness |

| More boring scenery! |
