Hitting Cloud Base
As we start to reach the summit plateau of An Socach, we also climb into the cloud base as we look back the way we've come. It was swirling around us and formed a wall of white, not like fog at all really. Eating the sandwiches in the lee of a shelter cairn, we had wisps of cloud blowing just beyond our feet, a quite magical experience.
After a few test runs and weeks of chiropractic care on my back, it's finally time to start the climbing season with a climb up An Socach. An Socach (pronounced An S-Oh-Ack) is my 17th Munro and stands at 944 meters (3097 feet), and although not the longest of climbs parts of it are very steep.
