Skye






I've just got back from a great week working on Skye.  Despite the mixed weather we managed some great scrambling and climbing as well as having an amazing day out sea kayaking with Gordon Brown [the sea kayak legend, not the PM!].  We were based in Glenelg, an idyllic spot.

Highpoint recently provided a climbing and abseiling session for Chris Trimble and friends on their Lake District Stag weekend. Great fun was had by all (especially us) on a memorable morning.

The Piz Badile Last Summer






Fellow Highpoint instructor Chris Walker and I [Rich] have finally sorted out our photos from an ascent of the Cassin route on the incredible Piz Badile last summer..... it's only taken us 10 months.  Climbing we can do but IT is not our strong point!  I'm looking forward to more adventures on the rock this year both at work and on holiday.  A busy Bank Holiday of rock climbing for Highpoint now after a great week with Loughborough University that finished today.  A full multi-media update from John shortly!
