Onset of northeasterly winds made me think of going SW so headed out to Ardnamurchan with Pat Ingram for a couple of days exploring the gabbro cliffs of the Ring Dyke area.Leading a climb on Hebrides Wall, Beinn na Seilg.
Took a leader fall on a VS here when a critical handhold fell off as I was committed to a move. Thankfully the gear held, but Pat had to dodge the debris!
Wonderful views out from Beinn na Seilg, the last significant peak on the peninsula.

The rock on Meall an Fhir-Eoin Beag is fantastic. Chris leading top pitch of Yir.
