The campsite on Pabbay
"It was Graeme Nicoll's picture of Kevin Howett and Graham Little on a route I had never heard of on the sea cliffs of the remote Outer Hebridean island of Pabbay. The route, Prophesy of Drowning (E2), looked utterly magnificent – desperate, elegant committing, spectacular and compellingly sensational!"

Among the best routes on Pabbay are; Sugar Cane County (E4) on Hoofers Wall, Prophesy of Drowning (E2) on the awesome Great Arch, The Raven (E5) on The Poop Deck, Wiggly Wall (HVS 5a) on The Galley, Endolphin Rush (E4) and Spring Squill (E1) Banded Walls, Inprofundum Lacu (E5) ... in fact every route on the Pink Wall. The 100m free abseil in to climb U-Ei (E1) on The Grey Wall Recess takes some beating! Finally The Herbrudean (E5) and Sea An-enema (E1) are worth checking out in the more accessible Bay Area.
