Another 3 of the Skye Munros in the bag yesterday. No abseiling required, but a bit of rope work for safety on some of the 'airy' ridges. Annoyingly, I haven't been able to do much in the way of photography, as I don't want to be distracted. But I've got enough for the record, and our guide sends us through his shots of the day too. :-) Today our plan is another 3 Munros, including the innaccessible pinnacle ... a definite abseil. Exciting but worrying! :-)
Such a wonderful capture of all those slings and things! When I look down to the right, my heart skips a beat! You seem to be a born climber. Hope all goes well today and you reach your destination safely.
I love abseiling - but rocking climbing I find really really scary. I don't understand why - it just is.
Fabulous shot - you're knocking off a few, you must be getting close to your goal
I love all the colorful apparatus. I finally looked up that word abseil. I had never heard of it. Now I know it is what hubby and I used to do in Yosemite - rock climbing to us.
@shutterbug49 Yes, we rock climb up and abseil down if the descent is too tricky, or if it is quicker, which it often is. We were nervous about abseiling, but in fact the climbing is the tricky bit in reality! Yosemite must have been a wonderful playground for you and your hubby!
Wow, that is some height showing there. Going up and down would be tough for me even in good health. I get tremendous "butterflies" in my stomach from the heights. I even get them from looking at pictures like this! Cool (but scary for me) shot!
