David and Alastair climbing the UK's hardest mountain summit the Inaccessible Pinnacle (In Pin or Inn Pinn), Sgurr Dearg on the isle of Skye in Scotland. This sensational moderate climb up the east ridge a knife edge fin of rock has good holds but exceptional exposure... It was first climbed by the Pilkindon brothers in 1880. It is the hardest Munro summit to tick for the average mountain walker. To gain the top requires rock climbing skills, ropes, calm weather, a good head for heights and finally an abseil to get back down again!
