Skye Cuillin Munros...tick!

Climbing up to the summit of Sgurr a'Mhadaidh

Over the last three years Richard has been coming up to the Isle of Skye to try and climb all of the island's Munros. Each season Richard and I have ascended some of the most challenging peaks on Munro's list and this year he wanted to finish them off.

With tricky route finding, often poor weather and large amounts of technical ground requiring scrambling and occasionally climbing, the Cuillin Munros can be a burden in the backs of many Munro Bagger's minds. Often the easiest choice can be to hire a guide who knows the mountains well and can help deal with the technical difficulties and warren of paths safely and efficiently. This is what Richard was after when he set out to climb them all.

Over the past few days we ticked off Richard's final Cuillin summits with ascents of Sgurr a'Ghreadaidh and Sgurr a'Mhadaidh on Thursday in less than ideal conditions and Sgurr na Banachdich on Friday with the occasional view through the clouds. Well done Sir!

Summit smiles! Richard's final Cuillin Munro
