Inverness climber completes Scotland’s Winter Munro Round

Ms Wells’ safety precautions included leaving details of her routes with her family, and carrying an emergency kit that had extra clothing, spare torch and compass and a device that can send an SOS at the press of a button.

Highs included traverses of Skye’s Cuillin hills in snow, and climbing remote summits in Knoydart.

On some of her climbs she was also accompanied by friends and family, including Martin Moran’s son, Alex.

Like his late father, Alex Moran is a highly-experienced mountaineer.

For Cairn Gorm, she was joined by 25 other climbers who wanted to share in her celebrations.

Ms Wells said the company she had was one of the biggest joys of her experience.

She said: “It was incredible to have so many people come and support me on the last Munro, and so many people helped me throughout the round as well.”

She added: “Martin Moran holds the the record for the fastest time, which was 83 days.

“I managed to equal his record, which was a little pipe dream of mine.”
