New routes on Skye
Today I had an unexpected day off as my clients cancelled last minute. The weather was great and Mike had a project he wanted me to try. He had tried it yesterday but wasn't able to fully commit so offered it to me. I headed up to the crag early doors to meet Mike and Lucy, who had bivied up there, and they pointed out the line. It looked great and I led both pitches giving a really nice E2 5c which I called Too Hard for the Old Man. Mike was very sporting and didn't mind us using that title. Also the the crag has a resemblance to a face which the route crosses through. Unfortunately i didn't take any photos but Mike has a write up and photos (here). We then went on to make the First Summer Ascent of Deliverance (VII,7), a route Mike and I did the First Winter Ascent last winter (Here). Another excellent day on Skye, as always!
