The weather was always better than forecast with only one very wet day on Skye. We started with CMD arete on Ben Nevis, then the Ring of Steall and then Curved Ridge on the Buachaille Etive Mor. We then moved to Skye and the Cuillins. There we traversed a section of the main ridge taking in Sgurr Alasdair, Sgurr Thearlaich and Sgurr Mhic Choinnich. This is a great section of the ridge with 2 abseils and a section known as Collie's Ledge, a shelf which cuts through some otherwise very steep ground. We also did another section of the ridge taking in the main top of Sgurr na Banachdich in less the perfect weather. This all gave a great taste of the Cuillins.
A great few days with 12 Munros taken in on route. Thanks to all for their effort and enthusism, well done!
