The Skye Cuillin aren't known for their hands-free summits, but among the climbs and scrambles some cracking less-technical walks can be found. Standing in a pivotal position near the northern end of the Cuillin, Bruach na Frithe is perhaps Skye's easiest Munro - but no less worthwhile for that. Though the peak can be gained with a minimum of clambering, the mid-grade scrambling circuit described here has a little more bite. Whether you're an adventurous hillwalker, or a climber reccying the Main Ridge for a future traverse, the round of Bruach na Frithe and Sgurr a' Bhasteir gives a good flavour of the Cuillin without proving too stressful. With close-up views of the magnificent Basteir Tooth and the jagged profile of Sgurr nan Gillean’s Pinnacle Ridge, the scenery is vintage Skye - but unlike most big Cuillin days, you can comfortably leave the rope at home.
