Description

Shunted this route (should have re-belayed more as bottom had a lot of stretch when I was setting off so felt quite committed, Luckily managed the crux free) This is the direct version as per Garry Latters Book.

Area : Skye and Raasay – Sea Cliffs and Outcrops

Skye is perhaps more generally well known for the Cuillin mountains, but it also has a large amount of excellent sea cliff and outcrop climbing, mostly on columnar dolerite (such as at Kilt Rock, Staffin and Neist, and at the Trotternish crags in the north). In contrast, the cliffs of the Elgol region are composed of an unusually pocketed light coloured sandstone, and with stunning views over to the Cuillin, they will not disappoint. Also included here are the cliffs of Raasay, reached by ferry from Skye.
