Sea stack climbing – Am Buachaille

With the weather perfect for coastal walks and sea-cliff climbing the gofurther team took themselves to the magic of Sandwood bay on the North West of Sutherland. About 30 minutes to the south along the coast stands one of the UK’s most impressive sea stacks – a 65m tower of sandstone which you can just make out in this picture.
This climb includes everything: a beautiful walk to a stunning and remote location; a walk around a rugged coast; a swim out to the stack; a exhilarating climb; a 50m abseil; and, some breathtaking views. But words can’t paint the picture, so we’ve put together a small video of the trip we made on Friday 9th May. Just click on the embedded movie below. Three days on and the weather hasn’t changed.
