I was lucky to have Friday and Saturday off this week, and my mate asked me if I wanted to Climb a mountain. In my Naivety, I said sure that will be fun - me assuming a long challenging walk up a touristy Munro.
Only to discover, that he truly meant, CLIMB in every sense of the word: ropes, gear, helmets and a route called the North Face which involves as the name implies - a climb up the sheer vertical face of the mountain.
I didn't know I was scared of heights until I was half way up and to be told that the only safe way to the bottom at this point was to keep ascending made me a little sad.
I only took 7 photos in my shakey state - I thought they looked quite nice.
Also got a drone video when we got to more stable ground near the top https://youtu.be/p4iwtytYmbQ - advise viewing it in 4k - the mountain is stunning!
Long story short - I'm probably going to keep my feet on the floor at or around sea level for now. If anyone out there has a photography enquiry regarding being married half way up the North Face of Buachiallie - my price has now increased to £1,000,000 per hour.
