Well done BMC. Skeleton Ridge is a brilliant experience. But don't under estimate it, this is not a normal rock climb.

Well done BMC, that is a fantastic result and great news for any climber who wishes to get on and enjoy one of the great "adventure" routes in The UK and a truly unforgettable day out. For anyone interested this is a wee video I made of the route in the summer of 2016 and a day which will live in the memory for a very long time...

Your video is a classic Dave! You should make sure to update the YT description / links with the latest access info, as your film has become one of the more significant info resources on Skeleton Ridge.
