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.

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.
