Jacob joined us in June for a week long course with a view to becoming a more rounded climber. With a desire to get into the higher mountains we started our course with a trip to the Isle of Skye where we climbed "Pinnacle Ridge" a 600m mountaineering route given the grade Diff. It is a very alpine-esque experience and the weather certainly did not dissapoint!
We spent day 2 brushing up on skills at Neist Point on the Isle of Skye and opted to return to Lochaber and Glencoe for the duration of the course.
Day 3 rock climbing on the Rannoch Wall on Buichaille Etive Mor, Glencoe.
Day 4 Jacob leading the Gutter and Tear at Polldubh crags in Glen Nevis, Lochaber.
