I’ve had another hectic work week which started with a weekend guiding the Forcan Ridge in Glen Shiel and Tower Ridge on Ben Nevis. I was hoping to complete the Clach Glas – Blaven traverse on Skye on Saturday but strong winds and heavy rain meant we had to leave Skye’s lone Munro for another time and head south to Glen Shiel. Although not in the same league, the Forcan Ridge provided a great alternative in challenging conditions and did allow 2 Munros to be bagged. Tower Ridge was as superb as ever with the persistant rain adding to the challenge and ensuring there were no weekend queues with only two other teams on the route. No photos I’m afraid – my camera is not submersible.
For the rest of the Week I’ve been working on a Rock Improvers course for Glenmore Lodge where I visited a number of local crags with Sarah and Graham, practising and perfecting a range of skills and techniques.
