A day of 3 halves; 30th April
Waking in decent weather was a bonus but sadly the poor weather arrived mid-morning after commiting to Pinn attempt. What wasn’t expected was the absolutely howling gale with big gusts that accompanied the snow. 
I was very glad to have Ben Wallace along to belay me & help Ann-Marie, Jenny & Andy take my runners out of both pitches. Luckily the rime ice wasn’t on any of the horizontal holds, the snow stopped, winds died down as we climbed and the clouds parted to give great windows out to Rum.

Congratulations to Jenny, Andy & Ann-Marie. We cracked on to Mhiccoinnich and before we reached the summit the tops were all clear.
Looking back to the Pinn. “Glad we couldn’t see it when we were on it!”
and happy girls looking back at Mhicchoinnich. Note the snow in the Stone Shoot.
Sadly the joy didn’t last with United failing us this evening but it ain’t over til the fat lad sings. More importantly A-M has finally climbed the Pinn after xxxxxx years of Cuillin climbing. See ya again soon me darling 😉
