Beinn Eighe & Fuselage Gully




Great sky first thing




It's a long walk in


But with some stunning views


Triple Buttress on Beinn Eighe


Starting up Fuselage Gully


So called on account of the Lancaster bomber that crashed there during WW2


Which makes a great belay...


...to protect the cheeky step, its only two moves, but they are committing and currently pose a rock problem rather than icy climbing.


Some good views


a bit of rope phaff


Some stunning views on the top


Scotland is go in Torridon


The route for the day - anti-clockwise, over the three Horns of Alligin and then along the ridge. 


The only 'successful' selfie of the day


and up that one as well


Found a trig point

Over in the Cairngorms today - 104mph on the summit is a little windy and so far the road is closed so having an admin day of updating the blog and doing some marking. The pictures above are from Sunday on Beinn Alligin.
