We spent yesterday in Torridon having a day climbing on a superb crag beyond Diabaig in Torridon, Wester Ross, with Jim Sutherland of nineonesix guiding. 
As an alternative approach, Jim had arranged a boat trip across Loch Torridon for us, which made it a memorable day from the start.

It was a tough one, I must admit, but if you ease off in the training it&#8217;s gonna hurt, I guess! Actually really pleased to come in significantly under 1:45, which is what I was aiming for. Now where&#8217;s the red wine..?
