Up from Sligachan via Fionn Choire. A 6hr round trip without rushing. Heavy overnight rain made crossing the streams tricky, and once we reached the ridge, gusty winds made progress difficult. Fortunately the cloud lifted enough to show the Cuillin group in all its craggy splendour.

Should be some nice views from here but a bit clagged in today. Up from Sligachan via Coire a' Bhasteir, Sgurr a' Bhasteir and Sgurr a' Fionn Choire.

Walked up from Sligachen Hotel on awful day. Thick fog and fine rain. Couldn't see a thing. I'm sure its a good view. Abandoned any attempt on Am Basteir and Sgurr nan Gillean. Managed to bag eight of the eleven Munro's here over four days including the In Pinn.

Where is the 10 plus button? The views from this trig are awesome. So much respect has to be given to the Ordnance Survey men who both located the site, then carried all the equipment require to built and survey from here. First Cullin, first Munro, blown away with the views that truthfully didn't spend as much time examining the trig as at others. Very fortunate to visit when visibility was so good.

A few cracks but generally sound. Cylindrical. No cap or plug. Fine rocky summit. From NE, Aultdearg Ho, good path then pathless to base of NW ridge; ridge itself has a good path (keep on or just R of crest for best line). In cloud with strong cold wind. Then to Portree Hotel where 71 Marilyn baggers and associates assembled for this years MarHoF Gathering.

Excellent TP on the sharp Cullin ridge. Good cylinder shape trig. Amazing views. Bagged this on the way to Am Bastier. Walked up in clag but this cleared at the trig for a magical scene of the summits of the ridge peeking above cloud.

My Munro #17. Having climbed Ben Alligin the previous autumn I couldn't wait to get back up to Scotland and continue bagging Munros. I thought 3 days on Skye and I'd be able to bag most, if not all, of the Cuillen Ridge. On my own. Idiot. I had NO IDEA what the mountains on Skye entailed. Besides, the weather was dreadful for all three days so on the day two I settled for doing just the 'Tourist' Cuillin Munro. 'Tourist route' or not, in quite appalling conditions I felt out of my depth, and day three of this trip saw me back on the mainland bagging a much more simple Munro.

Bruach Na Frithe 'Selfie' at the TP. Smell my fear...

My 99th Munro and my first Skye Munro. Beautiful day but unable to go on to Am Basteir (climbing under Am Basteir and the tooth to the col between Sgurr nan Gillean and Am Basteir) as a rock fall meant a tricky down climb which we were unprepared for. Since then have climbed Am Basteir twice and Bruach na Frith again.
