Solo - Inn Pinn - East Ridge

[@peteswales3622]

Wonderful video and excellent quality. Well done. I did not go up the actual bolster rock. However the guide informed me that it can be considered bagged standing by it, plus walking up to it, you achieve its height. Loved to do it again . Nice one

Nice vid, and a good view of Sgurr Alasdair!

[@brechfaknives8187]

Great little video - Thanks!

[@kierondesmond7791]

Hey Dale, I'm thinking of doing it tomorrow. Thanks for showing me how ;o)

[@paulbarlow3762]

The East Ridge is a Moderate climb so could be reversed but the exposure is extreme and the best route off is to abseil down the shorter West Face. To recover your rope to stop it getting stuck walk up the slope until you can pull the rope straight through from the belay hawser

[@calumpiober1535]

Agree! downclimbing is NEVER as easy as climbing up!

[@jeffbezos3942]

This felt so much like a liveleak video

[@m1klgordon]

You're fucking nuts, and amazing. Well done!

[@darwilliam876]

Awesome - what length of rope do you need and was there a chain already at the summit?

[@peteswales3622]

Darwilliam . The chain is there 365 days per year and I believe is regularly checked. It’s set up by the Skye guides.

[@TheAquanomad]

I believe it's 18m to the ground. I used a 40m rope and it was loads, probably wouldn't want to chance a 35m as it's undercut at the bottom and it'd be tricky to downclimb it, You don't want a twisted/broken ankle there, it's a long walk out!

[@aidenhanly9740]

40m rope

[@dave990]

You're crazy man, big respect for doing this. Do you think it would be safe for me to do if I can climb 7c grades? I really want to do a summit on the black cuillin range but unsure about the difficulty

[@AugmentedRealityImages]

If you are climbing 7C, then you could run this 👍🏻

[@dave990]

@@AugmentedRealityImages I only boulder though and have no rope experience. I assume I would need to repel down from the top of the Pinn right... Or is down climbing doable!? P. S I was there in May and done Sgurr Allisdair via great Stone chute and Bruach Na Frithe, Sgurr Na Stri the following day. Gabbro rock is amazing and my next visit to Skye I'll be aiming for the Inn Pinn... 👍

[@AugmentedRealityImages]

@@dave990 Yeah it is an abseil off the top so you would need to know how to rig and use one. It's a fairly straight forward climb up the east ridge. About a moderate/diff so ropes and gear are advised as it is very exposed. I wouldn't down climb at all! It sounds like you might be wise to book a guide to be honest.

[@dave990]

@@AugmentedRealityImages Thanks for info mate. Ive managed to persuade a friend of mine who is an experienced trad climber to join me next year! Hes done the full ridge before so I'm stoked about having him as a guide. Thanks for your help man 🙏

[@AugmentedRealityImages]

@@dave990 you’re welcome dude. That sounds awesome and I’m sure you’ll have a blast. Cheers man!

[@colinme2672]

Did this whilst it was snowing. My hands were burning touching the freezing rock. Super climb and not at all difficult.

[@ACshinealight]

Isn’t it crumbling ???

[@dunebasher1971]

No. You're thinking of the Old Man of Storr.
