Skye is so hot at the moment. Any recommendations of N facing crags/climbs that will be in the shade? Looking for long easy climbs, up to VS.
Mummy's Church at Carn Liath
Don't worry, I will visiting soon so the weather will turn to absolute shite
Get up on Sron na Ciche early in the day before the sun comes around.

Mummy's church! The funniest route on the island, but definitely shaded.
Shining Cleft (HS 4b) is an amazing outing on an impressive face.
Really enjoyed The Great Prow (HVS 5a) (used to be VS but gets HVS now, which is probably fair). North facing and high altitude with a Hard Rock tick as a bonus.

Nothing shady about Skye, the rock is straight down the line ... genuine and trustworthy
The lower tier crags at Neist before midday. Poverty point being the obvious example. Climbs on the cioch early in the morning.
