Chasing the sun 🌅

In order to be the best version of yourself you have to be happy. While it’s important to work hard for the things you believe in, there needs to be some time to play 💪. For me happiness is being outdoors so here we are …in Sheigra, North Coast of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This trip was sick, but I will tell you about it in more detail later on. What really fascinated me was how we managed to navigate through the weather to get this sunny spell.

The forecast was for rain on the West Coast as we travelled on the East side, with the weather to change the following day. Can’t believe it…by some miracle the forecast was right 😛 as we were climbing in the sun, it was raining somewhere else…

As for Sheigra itself? Well we chose it because we wanted to climb somewhere scenic, somewhere by the sea 🤩 this place is phenomenal…there is nothing there but a bunch of houses, a stunning beach, a cemetery, peaty ground, phenomenal views of surrounding peaks, cattle and of course rock climbing 🥹🤩🧗‍♀️🌊

Due to limited time we only scouted the sector we were interested in, we ended up climbing on the most accessible one. There was nothing a single soul around…just us and the beach, the spirited sea and that stunning sunset 🥹 most of the routes were wet and you shouldn’t climb sandstone when it’s wet so it was time get creative…

I found this piece of rock that was dry and it inspired me, the route isn’t on the guidebook, so maybe I claim a first ascent? Very cool problem, very close to what I have been practicing at the gym recently with a stunning and I mean stunning heel hook 🥰 not a hard grade, maybe a 6a+, maybe even a 6b?

I cannot wait to return to Sheigra, and will share some from that trip later on!!! I just loved that sense of being alone, self-reliant and having no immediate obligations. Just focusing on the present and loving it.
