A superb day of scrambling fun with Harrison, covering the In Pinn to Sgurr na BanachDaich, Sgurr a' Ghreadaidh and Sgurr a' Mhadaidh. Slightly warm, but the occasional breeze helped keep us cooler up on the ridge. | mproudfoot | 26/06/2021 |

Ascended from Glen Brittle via An Dorus alongwith Sgurr a' Mhadaidh. Scramble out of An Dorus tricky, especially as wet, no views on ridge but great atmosphere. | quadbarrel | 10/04/2014 |
2nd time. | PGCE | 30/09/2013 |
Did this with Ken and Hamish and the brilliant and patient Mike from Sky Guides. A wet , misty and drizzly day - maybe just as well as I suspect the exposure is interesting. The tricky bit was the climb out of An Dorus ( the door ) onto Greadaigh. We got roped up for this and it made for an interesting re introduction to Skye for me. The rest of the round was just some scrambling but mentally Skye is taxing as you need to keep concentrating where you put your feet. 
Great pint in the Inn in Carbost on the way home.5 hours | slynch | 20/09/2013 |
