Climbers up to the age of 81 years put their skills to the test during a competition at a climbing centre in Inverness.
The Ledge Climbing Gym and Charity held round three of its four round winter competition bouldering series.
It attracted 70 competitors some of whom had travelled to Inverness from as far as Orkney, Aberdeen and Edinburgh, climbing on 25 "problems" set in ascending order of difficulty.
During the four-hour fun collaborative competition, the youngest climbers from the Ledge Youth programme took part beside the oldest competitor who was 81 years old.
It was open to all climbers of every ability from novices to GB National competitors who were accompanied by a DJ to motivate the crew with dance music.
Brothers Rhys and Rueben Langlands tied with each other as the male adult winners while Lewis Roy and Euan Loynd were also winners. Rueben was also the top male junior.
Winners in the top woman and juniors (under 21) competition were Becca Day, Nina Z and Hope Henderson.
The fourth and final round will be held at The Ledge on April 20.
The Ledge, which opened in April last year, was developed in the former Bensons for Beds unit in Telford Street.
It features Scotland’s only Olympic-standard bouldering wall and also provides a community hub.
As a registered Scottish charity, its aim is to change lives for the better via the medium of climbing.
