Hey Nelson, have you tackled the innacessible pinnacle?

 

[rolfw]

Not great photos, as taken at more than 50m, 100m on a couple of them and in bad light, but of a bird I had not seen before, an immature Red-backed Shrike at Greenham Common.

Only passage visitors Paul, that was the first Red-backed and a year or so ago I saw my first Great Grey Shrike.

Hey Nelson, have you tackled the innacessible pinnacle?

no - not yet - it involves proper rock climbing -( i would need some assistance) all other tops can be reached by scrambling -- some are tricky though - but possible .
a couple of pics below from july this year -- pic one - from sgurr dearg ridge - some folks about to do the innacessible pinnacle . pic two - a long shot across to the innacessible pinnacle from a ledge on sgurr mhic choinnich

 

[Piltdownpaul]

I envy you totally, my total lack of experience and body size prevent me from tackling the gabbro!
