The Storr, Summit and mountain in Isle of Skye, Scotland.
The Storr rises 719 meters above sea level, forming part of the Trotternish Ridge with steep cliffs and rocky pinnacles surrounding its peak.
The Trotternish landscape, including The Storr, formed through massive landslips during the Paleogene period, creating the current geological formations.
Local Scottish folklore connects The Storr to tales of giants who lived in the mountains and shaped the landscape of the Isle of Skye.
The ascent starts at the designated car park on A855 road, with a marked trail leading through former woodland to reach the summit.
The north face presents an additional climbing challenge, rising 650 feet vertically and offering different routes to experienced mountaineers.
