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

It was a bit awkward with with the big pack but I made it unnecessarily difficult for myself on a couple of sections.

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

[@user-zk9dk7eq9b]

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

This is absolutely insane. Extremely impressive.

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

Went with the grade from the ukc logbook
