Sgurr nan Gillean and Am Basteir, Skye

Beverly, Stephen and I enjoyed a brilliant day on Sgurr nan Gillean and Am Basteir today.

We tackled the West Ridge of Sgurr nan Gillean both in ascent and descent, before making short work of the East Ridge (and Bad Step) of Am Basteir, again up and down.

The weather was kind to us all day, and treated us to some atmospheric views of the surrounding hills and sea.

Well done to both Beverly and Stephen for rising up to today’s challenge, and hopefully this will be the start of many scrambling adventures in the Scottish Highlands.
