Hi

Up on Skye without a climbing partner.

Last year I spotted an unclimbed arete which just said, climb me.

Thinking there must be a catch, like a stopper section, last week, I abseiled down, cleared off a few small blocks and scratched out some runner placements. Ready to go. No brushing required, naturally clean gabbro. O

From the rope thought it might even  be HVS but 3 stars. Its a bit morpho, things often harder on the sharp end so might be E2.

So looks crap tomorrow but Friday to Sunday look possible, its quick drying and less than 2 hours to walk in the guide.

Just want a safe belay, one go then you can have it if you want. Got all gear in van, just bring a harness.

Email me on here .
