Cuillin Ridge

Congratulations Claire! A big day yesterday traversing from Sgurr Alasdair to Sgurr Nan Gillean on the Cuillin Ridge on Skye. We left  Glenbrittle at 5:00am and headed up Sgurr Alasdair from Coire A Ghrunnda. 12 hours of some of the best scrambling in the world saw us at the other end on Sgurr Nan Gillean. Conditions were perfect with good views, light winds, dry rock and cool temperatures - Claire obviously has friends in high places. An awesome day to make the most of a narrow weather window, thanks very much!

Congratulations to Tom and Laura who have rounded off a fine week on Skye with a two day traverse of the Cuillin Ridge with Huw. They did every summit and all of the climbs with a chilly bivvy on Thursday night - a fantastic achievement on the greatest mountaineering expedition in the UK.

 Another beautiful summers day in the mountains. We were joined by Huw and split into a couple of teams. I roped up with Julia and Claire and we enjoyed some lovely scrambling in Cwm Idwal - there might even have been a swim this afternoon 😀

Teaching winter mountaineering

Teaching winter mountaineering today with Fabio and Mark. It’s been a bit more blustery than of late so we stayed lower and got them on the sharp end in ascent and descent. Bit of a turbo thaw coming in tomorrow but a great start to winter. Fancy joining us for more of this? Check out Expeditionguide.com for our full winter programme.
