This is largely due to the remote location of some summits and the exposure and technical difficulties of others. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have taken the decision to attempt to complete them this year, including hiring a guide to take us up those requiring ropes on the Cuillin Ridge in Skye. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo encourage us to attempt the scariest of these, including the Inaccessible Pinnacle on Skye, we hope to raise a few pounds for the Scottish SPCA. We are in awe of the amazing dedication that the staff show in their care for the animals in need in Scotland. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you can spare a few pounds it would be such great encouragement for us to attempt the more exposed and scary climbs and, of course, will help the Scottish SPCA to carry on with their valuable work caring for all those animals who find themselves in unfortunate circumstances.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>You can donate to Sue and Ron\u2019s climbs at their Justgiving page <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3XDOJrJ\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3XDOJrJ<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Find out more about becoming a volunteer on our website here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scottishspca.org\/support\/volunteer\">https:\/\/www.scottishspca.org\/support\/volunteer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dedicated volunteers at the Scottish SPCA Highland and Islands Rescue and Rehoming centre, Sue and Ron Howie are taking to new heights for the animals at the centre.
