Markus on Hughies Cocktail Mixture E3, 4 kbThe Scottish isles were this year's climbing destination for German competition and sport climber Thomas "Shorty" Tauporn and friend Markus Urbanowski. After spending time in the "infamous" Peak District in 2014, 2015 saw them travelling to the north-west coast of Scotland, taking in Lewis and Harris as well as climbing the Old Man of Stoer and sampling Reiff.

Markus' endearing description of their adventures and their appraisal of Scottish sea-cliff climbing caught our eye, so we translated their story to share on UKC.

Great to hear about more European climbers sampling the joys of Scottish trad.

I'm guessing that at Reiff they made the mistake of walking in a straight line towards the N end of the peninsula rather than following the shore for most of it!

I met a really psyched couple on Pabbay from Swiss/Spain, it was only later on that I realised I'd also met them down the leap too. Our sea cliffs are truly our greatest assets.
