Impressive winter traverse of the Cuillin Ridge - 6hrs 14mins.

Including the Inn Pinn and the TD Gap which many people miss out.
In proper winter conditions.

Interesting choice of gear - " we both wore Salomon X-Alp Carbon GTX boots - which at 500g each are essentially a stiff running shoe with an outer gaiter. These take a crampon remarkably well. We decided to take two ice axes each, to allow a maximum of soloing, and used one technical and one super light axe each for the majority of the time. For the multiple abseils we took a 38metre length of 8mm rope, and a 26metre length of 6mm cord. "

Wow. That's pretty damned impressive. I hadn't realised Finlay Wild was a climber - is there no end to his abilities?
