That's a great Image of the Old Man Herb bet that's a very hard climb have you tried it.
Have a great day Gordon

Thanks Gordon. I am not that kind of climber to attempt this. Some five months after our visit a rather daring rescue was carried out here - BBC News:

Two climbers were rescued after getting into difficulty on a sea stack on Sutherland's north west coast. The men were climbing the Old Man of Stoer, a 60m (197ft) tower of rock, when the sea conditions deteriorated. They became crag fast - stuck - on a ledge near the bottom and were unable to move due to high waves and the tide. Stornoway Coastguard helicopter winched the climbers to safety and they were flown to Lochinver to be checked over. "The Old Man of Stoer is a popular location for climbers but weather can rapidly deteriorate and, particularly at this time of year as we come out of the summer months, rising waves and high winds from the North Sea present significant risks that anyone moving around the coast can expect to encounter."

Cheers. Herb

Wow,das ist aber ein imposanter Felsen,der so eine Größe erreicht hat lieber Herbert :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Tag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

We have a few rock stacks like this around our Scottish coast Güni. They are always a pleasure to discover and photograph.

Best Wishes. Herbert

A terrific capture of this iconic stack Herb.

A great addition to the "North Coast 500 Group"

My pleasure to share such an Iconic stack roger.

Nicely captured Herb. It can be tricky near the edge!

Yes agreed. I had to be a might careful there leaning over the side.

Regards. Herb

The power of water creates incredible things!

A most impressive sea stack but that rescue sounds quite dramatic!

Yes we missed the rescue and did not see any climbers here but there were one or two other people walking around.

Regards. Herb

impressive rock!!!!!!

beautiful image

A very imposing looking and impressive sea stack............anyone who tries to climb is, in my humble opinion, completely bonkers :-)))

A well composed image Herb, with superb detail in the stack and rocks and some nice wave action.
