Final Tops!
Matt’s Report
I went out with Grandfather/Grandson team of Pete and Dan today to collect Pete’s final two tops-Knights Peak and the Basteir Tooth. We opted for going over Pinnacle ridge to Knights Peak, which was great fun and we got the added excitement of wet rock from the 3rd Pinnacle onwards.Pete entertained us with tales of soloing up the Inaccessible Pinnacle in his (slightly) younger days and this and other Munro bagging stories passed the time nicely until we found ourselves on top of the Basteir Tooth. The light rain had not relented all day but that did not dampen Pete and Dans delight at being on top and they even kept their humour as we indulged in the caving exploits required to reach the Kings Cave Chimney abseil. Thanks for a grand day out!
