Out for a very pleasant evening with Keith at Blackford Quarry in Edinburgh looking at the rope skills required for tackling the Inaccessible Pinnacle on Skye. The venue worked well and we used routes on both sides of the quarry and the pinnacle to cover lead belaying, removing protection as a second and abseiling. The quarry was catching the sun and there were several pairs bottom roping the routes on the main face. Some care is required with the rock in the quarry as it can be friable.
