UKC

Hello,
I am heading to the Isle of Skye this weekend for some walking but am hoping to get in a quick rock climb. Any recommendations for easy to get to, single pitch pitch routes up to E1?
Cheers
Sam

Jamie Jampot http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=53382 20 mins walk.

Or go to Neist Point where there are hundreds of climbs within 5-15 minutes of the road end.

But there's even better throughout the Cuillin if you don't mind a couple of hours walking/scrambling through the UK's finest mountains.

In reply to Samuel Wainwright:

grey panther, kilt rock e1
hurricane hideaway, neist e1

your starter ..... I'm sure that the masses will have more and better...

In reply to james1978:

Can you get down to the base of Kilt Rock by walking/scrambling or is an abseil de rigueur?

In reply to Samuel Wainwright:

Some routes you can descend to but Grey Panther etc require an abseil.

In reply to Samuel Wainwright: If you are keeping towards the east of the Isle and/or walking on Blà Bheinn (Blaven) then Schoolhouse Buttress at Elgol springs to mind - 2 minute walk in, great situation, stunning view of the Cuillin, several fairly decent routes - http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=1347

Was at Neist Point just over a week ago. Great rough dolerite. Went to the Financial Sector - 10-15 mins from car park. Routes about 30-35m. Take an ab rope for quick descent from stakes down approach gully. Routes I would recommend are Midas Touch, Insider Dealing, Security Risk and Venture Capital - all 3 stars and fair at the grade. Take a midge net etc just in case the breeze drops. All in all a great place.
