Cuillin Ridge (Traverse)

Isle of Skye, SCOTLAND

Climbs 9 – Rocktype Gabbro – Altitude 919m a.s.l – Faces ?

Crag features
The traverse of the Cuillin Ridge of Skye is the finest mountaineering adventure in the British Isles. In the summer no part is harder than V.Diff, and takes in over ten Munros.

Can take anything from 12 to 20 hours! (Or three if you're Andy Hyslop.) Prepare well, and take plenty of water.

In winter, it is important to pick a good weather slot after snow and then hard frost. A full moon and good visibility will allow a single push traverse.

Moving together is essential in case of bad weather or a rapid thaw. Most parties bivvy en route. Soloing virtually everything is almost essential in winter.
