Description

Ascent of the Dubh Ridge. I was guiding a 65 yr old man, the weather was very changeable but the day was successful. Abseil went well (set up SPA type) and then moved briskly over the rest of the ridge.
Heavy rain and wind on the summit, no visibility. Very challenging navigation.

Area : Isle of Skye
