Inaccessible Pinnacle (Cuillin) 19 Sept 2020
This was it. Could I climb the Pinn? Guided 1:1 of course. We headed up and suddenly there it was..... the Inn Pinn rearing up from the ridge. Suddenly, I was at its base and climbing on a rope, in two pitches. The rock was very grippy gabbro, and it felt safe in the sunny dry conditions. The difficult step was negotiated without difficulty, I reached the halfway point, then the ridge was narrowing and suddenly I was at the top, 3,235', amazing views along the ridge, and across to Bla Bheinn. The hardest part for me was the descent, as I climbed down rather than abseil into oblivion. The descent was a bit of a daze, relief moxed with euphoria. The Cuillins completed. Munro #257.
