Description

Iconic munro due to the difficulty of reaching its summit.

The route is considered a scramble but the pinnacle on top is usually climbed with ropes and with an abseil off the back of the pinnacle.

The Inaccessible Pinnacle is an exposed but manageable climb only 8m heigher than the flatter peak! It can be up & downclimbed without ropes but the exposure is intimdating.

For the abseil you need 36m rope at least.

Can be protected/anchored with slings if needed.

There is a permanent chain on the bolster stone to abseil off down the back.

Can get busy with slow numerous guided tours hence can start early or bivi before it to get there first light and avoid congestion.

Avoid the bank holiday last weekend of May! Simple climb except for a crux where you move right across from left over to right side and ascend the arete to the top.
