rhythmaningI spent two days climbing in Glen Shiel. I t should have been longer, but my boots were still causing problems, and I would rather minimise the pain and damage to my feet (I am going walking again next weekend; I'll have to see how it goes).
On the Friday, I climbed Carn Ghluasaid, Sgurr nan Conbhairean and Sail Chaorainn. It was foggy, and cool.
The next day, I climbed the Five Sisters of Kintail, from east to west. I got a lift to the start with some guys who were adding on "the Three Brothers", making it a really, really long day. I climbed the bealach, looked at Saileag and decided it made no sense not to climb it, too, so I headed east and ascended the first of four munros for the day. Then I turn west, and walked back to the hotel along the high ridge.
It was a glorious day: actually, too good: it was very hot and very sunny. It made the climbing very hard work, and it was a long, long day - longer than I had expected. Perhaps I am just unfit.
