Climbing King's Chimney - V. Diff. - The Cuillin Ridge, Skye

[@folkq]

I used to scramble a few of these diff-v.diff pitches and always fancied a go at King's Chimney. The slight overhang always put me off though! One time as I sat on the opposite edge to Bealach MhicChoinnich looking at it a guy with no gear and no backpack who I presume was running the ridge jogged past, disappeared into the gap before reappearing and 'skipping' up King's Chimney. Made it look ridiculously simple. I never tried it!

I wouldn't solo it, definitely not a scramble

[@CragFiend]

@@bigfaffproductionssome might disagree, though it’s important to be realistic when tacking V diffs.

Haha😁 I've always wanted to learn the guitar! Climbing is way more straightforward and requires less coordination

[@jimmarshall9945]

Hate to be pernickety.... But King's Chimney is a Diff... not a V/Diff.

Went with the grade from the ukc logbook
