Yeeeehaaa- Number 150!!
No words can describe this- more emotions than you can shake a very big stick at. :crazy: :crazy:

Once again it was done in excellent company. Thankyou so much Mark, Ron and Graeme XXX :clap: :clap:

Special mention also to our fabulous guide Matt of Skye Adventures- exactly what I was hoping for. :clap:

And to top it all, papped in the Sligachan Hotel while having a post climb drink and giggle :lol: :lol:
I'll let the pics (all stolen!) do the talking.

Cheers Alan,

Yeah the weather was amazing. I'm sure I heard someone say it was 30 degrees on the summit 8)

I kept in mind what you said and just dealt with the climb a wee bit at a time- it was no bother. The guide kept the rope really taut so I felt very secure and I had Mark right behind me- poor bloke what a view he had all the way up the fin !!!! :lol: :lol:
