June Rain

Bruach na Frithe
Karen, Judy, Mel and Karen proving it is possible to have fun in torrential rain in the Cuillin. This picture was taken in late June at the summit of Bruach Na Frithe.
This is usually a straight-forward peak manageable from the Sligachan but at the end of this day the burns you can normally skip over were raging after seven hours of downpour.

Skye Action

The gofurther team has enjoyed bright and dry conditions on most days on Skye over the past few weeks. The top picture shows Paul with Christine, Rory, James, Gair, Calum, Alistair and Pat after an ascent of the Inaccessible Pinnacle on Sgurr Dearg. Here, the group has descended down the steep slabs from the Pinnacle for a breather on an airy outcrop before we climbed back onto the main ridge for an ascent of Sgurr Mhic Choinnich.
The other picture shows Colin with the same group on the Western Buttress of Sgurr nan Gillean. This section is the most technical part of the buttress with scrambling over, and between, a series of small pinnacles. The group went on to the summit of Am Basteir which you can seen in the distance.
