Images from a couple of days on Skye's Black Cuillin. Daniel & David climbed Sgurr nan Gillean, Am Basteir, Bruach na Frithe and the trident peak: Bidean Druim nan Ramh on the first (long!) day. On day two we started a little later (David had to replace a set of broken boots which had come apart on Am Basteir) and climbed the hardest Munro: the Innacessible Pinnacle.
The Cuillin Ridge is similar in style of climbing to the Alps and to complete the traverse you need a high level of fitness, stamina, the ability to scramble (often un-roped) on exposed scrambling terrain as well as luck with the weather. Whilst it's possible to complete the traverse in a single push a two day crossing (with a bivvy) is a superior experience.

A quick email to say thank you so much for your guidance on the Cuillin ridge last week. My dad and I had a fantastic time. We're delighted to have 'knocked off' the In Pin and, in all, we had one of the best week's climbing we've ever had.
