Well done! So many climbers I knew started this and couldn't finish, lack of water, generally knackered but most commonly blisters.

Absolutely superb acheivement.

But...What next?

Hi there.

Just got back from Skye and saw your Cuillin Ridge report.

Florian is not a very common name. Do you know, does his father play bagpipes?

If so, we are probably (distantly) related.

Well done on your traverse by the way - brilliant effort.

Cheers.

AG.
