Sgurr Nan Gillean via the SE Ridge
Ken: Today saw Steve and I kick off our first Skye Munros Course that we run in conjunction with Steven Fallon Mountain Guiding. With a wet and windy start to the day and with plenty of snow still lingering, we opted for the more sheltered and snow free SE Ridge (AKA The Tourist Route) up and down Sgurr Nan Gillean.
Conditions on the route were as expected; wet and slippery in places, but the team did well and we summited in good time. The rain gave way to sunshine and a gentle breeze during the afternoon, giving us a pleasant end to the day.
We only saw one other team, who made a quick ascent of Pinnacle Ridge.
