[ad_1] I was back on home turf today and out with Dan and Ollie, who are staying up at the CIC Hut this weekend. Wanting to make the most of staying at the hut, we climbed the East Ridge of the Douglas Boulder, a route that has become quite popular in winter, but was first […]
[ad_1] That's more like it! After a couple of days of wet and breezy weather, Cameron, Andrew and I were finally able to enjoy the southern three Munros in the sunshine and with clear views in every direction! Needless to say, I'm pleased that Cameron and Andrew were able to leave Skye having seen the […]
[ad_1] After a brilliant climbing holiday in the Val Di Mello and Cadarese in the Italian Alps, I'm back on Skye and out bagging Munros with father and son team; Cameron and Andrew. Yesterday, we tackled the northern three; Sgurr Nan Gillean, Am Basteir and Bruach na Frithe, which we completed in good time. With […]
[ad_1] Yesterday, our Skye Munros team completed the course by reaching the summits of their final 3 Munros on the main Cuillin Ridge; Sgurr nan Gillean, Am Basteir and Bruach Na Frithe. The weather remained very changeable, with some clear spells, but overall, it was a bit on the damp and windy side, although we […]
[ad_1] Our Skye Munros Course, run by myself and Pete, were back at it again and this time at the southern end of the Cuillin Ridge, taking in Sgurr Nan Eag, Sgurr Dubh Mor and Sgurr Alasdair before descending the Great Stone Chute. It was a day of mixed weather, with strong winds early in […]
[ad_1] The most notable feature of today were the winds, which led us to changing plans and tackling the central Munros on the Cuillin Ridge; Sgurr a'Ghreadaidh and Sgurr a'Mhadaidh. With gusts of up to 50mph, it didn't make sense to head to the southern end. It turned out to be a pretty social day, […]

[ad_1] Yet again, the weather turned out to be much better than expected whilst Jason, Mal, John and I climbed Curved Ridge and Crowberry Tower on Buachaille Etive Mor in Glencoe today.

[ad_1] The weather today turned out to be much better than the forecasts suggested. Jason, Mal, John and I made an ascent of Castle Ridge on Ben Nevis, expecting the rains to arrive sometime late morning/early afternoon. Instead, we enjoyed a completely dry day, with the rains only starting at about 5pm. Conditions on the […]
[ad_1] Yesterday, I was working alongside Jamie on the final day of one of our 4 day Cuillin Munros Courses. We tackled the northern end; Sgurr nan Gillean, Am Bhasteir and Bruach na Frithe and managed to once again dodge much of the rain. Today was a different story, as Jason, Mal and I enjoyed […]
