Sgurr nan Gillean and Am Basteir

With only Sgurr nan Gillean and Am Basteir left to do before Darren completed all the Munros on the main Cuillin Ridge, we made our way up to Coire Bhasteir this morning in more rain than we expected. There's a theme here! It wasn't a day for hanging around, so we quickly made our way up Am Basteir, before the clouds finally parted, giving us some great views of our next objective, the West Ridge of Sgurr nan Gillean.

A quick ascent of Tooth Groove and the exposed Arete saw us making our way up easier ground to the summit. We retraced our steps, before abseiling down Nicholson's Chimney. To add a bit of variation to the day, we then traversed beneath Pinnacle Ridge, to join the base of the ridge. The ground is quite bouldery in places, but quite straight forward.

That gave us ten Munros over the three days, leaving Darren with only the Knoydart Munros and Beinn na Lap to round of his round of the Munros.
