The Northern 3 Munros, Skye

Yesterday, Jon and I made the most of his final day by tackling the 3 northern Munros on the main Cuillin Ridge; Sgurr nan Gillean, Am Basteir and Bruach na Frithe. The weather was marginally better than the day before, but it was still pretty wet for much of the day!

We tackled Sgurr nan Gillean first, but ascending and descending the West Ridge, before heading straight up and down the East Ridge of Am Basteir and finally cutting beneath its north face and over to Fionn Choire and up on to Bruach na Frithe. We managed to bag 9 Munros over the three days, in less than ideal conditions, leaving Jon with only 9 more Munros left to go.

Despite the conditions, it was a surprisingly social day, with a number of friends also out guiding.
