Cuillin Mountains, Scotland

Three years ago my friend Adrian and I climbed Sgurr nan Gillean, part of Cuillin Ridge, a chain of 22 peaks stretching over 12 kilometres on the beautiful Isle of Skye, Scotland. We were lucky with the weather, 28degC, rarely heard of that far north! The guidebook said, " Cuillin Ridge offers the most challenging mountaineering environment available in the British Isles...   ...exposure is incredible, vast yawning expanses of emptiness either side of you. The views are exhilarating..." Height is 964m or 3167ft (A Munroe!).

So we packed our brown underpants and off we set. Here are some of the photos. Thought I would share them!
