Ken: For Marco and Mary's final day we finished off their remaining Munros on the main Cuillin Ridge. We started by ascending Bomber Alley and traversing the famous and exposed Collie's Ledge before ticking off Sgurr Mhic Choinnich. From there, to keep the level of adventure high, we stayed on the crest of An Stac, giving some of the best scrambling on the entire ridge.

This brought us at the foot of the In Pinn which they both climbed with not a second thought. From here, we blasted over Sgurr na Banachdich before tacking Sgurr a'Ghreadaidh and finished off with the fifth and final Munro of the day, Sgurr a'Mhadaidh.

The day was nothing short of spectacular in every single way. The weather and views were incredible! The rock was almost all bone dry, except for condensation which had form on the sheltered and shaded spot as the afternoon wore on.

Long may this amazing autumnal weather continue!

The weather was once again very kind to us, with dry…

It’s great that despite the late start to the year there are newly certified Mountaineering and Climbing Instructors entering the profession and none more qualified to work on the Cuillin than Anna Wells.
