john.gaffney 10 Jul, 2018 TR O/S First go at this with Mark Dury and Rob Campbell. Got to top of Gars Bheinn at 11:15am on the Monday. Bivvied on "Greta" at 9pm Monday night. Set off at 5am Tuesday and finished on Gillean at 13:00 Tuesday in the drizzle. Pouring with rain on walk out to Sligachan, glad the weather held off for just long enough. Fantastic experience, enjoyed the lot, maybe go back and try it without a guide at some point in the future. Thanks Malcolm Airey for a great guided tour.

Merlin 6 Jul, 2018 AltLd O/S Bivied on Gras-behinn (unexpected shower), started at 0530 finished at 2130 (16hrs end to end), 19hrs including descent. Rockfax guide descent time is out to lunch! Missed last orders, although someone mentioned that in reality you can get a pint in the hotel at midnight... More like 2-2.5hrs than 1.5! Lost 2 hours on the Ridge due to Rockfax guide lacking detail on some technical sections inc Am Basteir and the first of the three pinnacles in the mid section. Avoided TD gap to get water at the first spring and missed the chimney to get back onto the ridge, ended up doing some necky soloing on loose rock. Carried 3ltrs and still dehydrated by the end. My knees also need replacing! Recommend bivying near the spring below TD Gap to give a shorter 2nd day. And training! The on-site come-as-you-are approach whilst purist was perhaps a tad silly! Epic day out.

caradoc 27 Jun, 2018 - Gars-bheinn start at 3.45pm. 26.06.18. 3.5 hours walk from Glen Brittle, a bit longer than expected. TD Gap went much easier than anticipated, technically VDif although quite intimidating, polish not a problem. Bivvy at In Pin at 10.45pm. Start at 4.45am. 27.06.18 Good progress until Sgurr a Mhadaidh where we had route finding problems and wasted a lot of time on dead ends. I should have taken a guidebook and would recommend anyone else to do so. More delays at Bidein Druim man Ramh where the way off the second pinnacle was not obvious. Very dehydrated by this time, two litres drunk but we had dropped two more litres at Bruach na Frithe which probably saved the expedition. 30degrees and hot rock was exhausting but we kept going to Sgurr nan Gillean arriving at the top at 3.30pm. Slow back to Sligachan looking for water in the boulder field where we could hear a stream running beneath the rocks. Very pleased to have finally done it.

nickhewitt 6 Jun, 2018 AltLd Left Coruisk at 4.15 am. Gars Bheinn 5.45. Full traverse to Sgurr nan Gillean in 10 hours dead taking in all 11 Munros, TD Gap (abseil/led out), Kings Chimney (Charlie led), Inn Pinn (soloed/abseil), Naismith's on the Bhasteir Tooth (led). Avoided using rope everywhere else and took everything head on. One nav confusion meant we did Thearlaich before Alasdair, so had to do it again. Excellent conditions - bone dry, very warm but mostly overcast. Took 2.5 l water each - barely enough. Packed light but should have been lighter. Tough 4 hour slog back to Coruisk with sore feet. A fantastic day. I was very happy to repeat it after 30 years and especially pleased to do it with my son.

Hugh Simons 29 May, 2018 - Left Glenbrittle at 2.30am, walked in by moonlight to Gars-bheinn in 12 degree heat, madness. 10 hrs 15 mins end to end on the ridge, about 15.5 hours Glenbrittle to Sligachan. Did all 11 munros and all the classic climbs (led TD gap, 2nd Kings Chimney, Soloed Inn Pinn and Led Naismith's), but the biggest obstacle was the heat! Took 2 L each which was enough, but was glad to fill the bottles with snow after Sgurr na Banachdich. Undoubtedly the best mountain day I've ever had. The scrambling and interest is maintained along the whole length from the get-go. I'd only done small sections of the ridge before on separate occasions, and 5 of the 11 munros were new, so we were really chuffed with the time given the heat and newness of a lot of it. David had never been on the ridge before either! Breakfast the next day was heavenly.

robahalliday 26 May, 2018 Lead dnf First attempt at the travese but alas we were too slow compounded by a couple of nav / route finding errors. South to north - made it over to Bealach Corie na Banachdaich to bivy out. Route finding errors on the second day cost us the glory! All errors focused around the three tops of Mhadaidh. Firstly roped up for the delicate slab around a big block before you descend to the three tops which cost us time (easier option would have been to pop round to the west and backdoor the short gully to the start of the ridge). Secondly the rockfax mini-guide describes taking a right path to avoid the 'horrendous looking' initial face of the third top (first you come to on a S-N Traverse) of Mhadaidh we followed this way too long down a ramp into a dead-end - probably cost up 200/300 meters of vertical. You only need skip 20 meters to the right to gain an easier looking wall. Tired bodies and late in the day meant we had to bail off Sgurr an Fheadain. All good fun (albeit type 2 at points). Fantastic and memorable weekend. Will be back fitter, more experienced and with a better sense of direction to give it another crack soon!

Mark Collins 24 May, 2018 Solo dnf Left Glen Brittle at 4:30pmish on Tuesday and set poor/wet/hammock shaped camp between Am Caistel and Sgurr nan Eag before completing the first part before bed. Awoke to mist, but carried on via GPS. Chickened out of long side climb out of the TD Gap, so reached summit of Alasdair via chimney. Left pack on someones ledge and soloed King's Chimney, which was trickier than expected with poor feet and a couple of awkward moves. Returned to pack via ledge and climbed An Stac directly for the first time ever, which was much better than the solar oven slog of the brown ramp. Skipped In Pinn due to the amount of occupants. Bad timing really and everyone on it seemed very happy and am certain they would have accommodated me as well as they could. With the ridge now clear of mist, I carried on in the usual way but this time faced Bidean Druim nan Raam for the first time in twenty odd years. Went well, keeping a close eye on the guide but abbed into the bealach off the main summit as the down climb looked too awkward with big pack. Passed the Am Caistel summit on the correct, left side which avoided the crawl but again abbed into the bealach awkwardly due to anchor location and heavy pack. Spent the night on a windy and dewy Bruach Na Frithe summit. Called it a day early the following morning and descended into Glen Brittle.

The next day was a write off but the following day we walked up to the 3 teeth and traversed to Sgurr nan Gillean. On the 3rd day we walked up to the Inn Pinn which I, it was led by Aaron. We continued on the ridge until we descended a scree slope and jumped into the fairy pools.

Fiona Reid 25 May, 2017 AltLd Started from Glenbrittle at 4:10am arriving back at the Sligachan at 23:45 in time for last orders making for a 19 hour 35 minute long day. Gars-Bheinn to Sgurr na Gillean took 13 hours 25 minutes with at least an hour lost relocating Sgurr Alasdair in the mist. We included all 10 Munros on the main ridge plus several tops, missing out Sgurr Dubh Mor. Despite various peaks being above the clouds on the drive down Glenbrittle the ridge remained firmly coated in clag until the afternoon giving some very slippery wet rocks and some challenging navigation. We optimistically headed for the TD gap but it was dripping wet and unclimbable thus we abseiled into the gap and headed down the gully. We’d not done this before so ended up ascending Sgurr Sgumain en-route to Sgurr Alasdair. We probably lost an hour here. From Sgurr Alasdair progress was pretty smooth. We ascended Sgurr Mhic Coinnich via Kings Chimney and from here onwards the clouds started to lift and we continued over An Stac. We soloed the In Pinn and a guide very kindly let us use his rope and let us bypass the abseil queue. Thank you very much for that :) The section from the In Pinn to Sgurr a'Mhadaidh went by smoothly and the clouds cleared into beautiful sunny weather. From Sgurr a'Mhadaidh to Bruach na Frithe we took our time and paid very careful attention to the description. This was the section we were most worried about as we’d not done it before. We stuck to the crest throughout going over all the tops of Sgurr a'Mhadaidh, Bidein Druim nan Ramh, An Caisteal and Sgurr na Bairnich abseiling the 3 downclimbs. After Bruach na Frithe we added on Sgurr a’ Fionn Choire (we’re bagging Munro tops too!) then continued onto the Basteir Tooth via Naismith’s route then straight onto Am Basteir itself before heading up Sgurr na Gillean via Nicholson’s Chimney and the West Ridge. We descended via the West Ridge, back down Nicholson’s Chimney and down Coire a’ Bhasteir to the path to the Sligachan. The bell for last orders rang as we walked through the door of the bar, result!

John Bunney 11 May, 2017 Solo O/S First serious attempt on the ridge after 20 odd years of wanting to do it. Saw a perfect weather window and headed up. Checked out the walk in on Wednesday. Left Glen Brittle at 2.45, got to the start for 6. Finished at 5.50pm, 2.5 hours back to Slig. Took 40m of 6mm for abs, this seemed a perfect length. Missed TD climb, Kings Chimney and due to not being able to find/didn't look very hard, didn't do Am Bastier. Soloed Inn Pinn. If you avoid the TD and head down the gully follow the scree back up to the right, don't try and rejoin to the left near an amazing Bivvy cave, it's a desperate knife edge! Do the scramble up An Stac, as said before the scrambling on that section is superb.

Mark Collins 8 May, 2017 Lead dnf Started via the 9ish am boat this time and managed to climb out of the TD Gap, being the first time I’d tried it. Sadly I had to drop my sack and haul it up which was something I was really hoping to avoid. Managed to get all the way to the bealach between Sgurr Mhich Choinnich and An Stac via Hart's Ledge before night fall and shiver bivvied, temp around zero until setting off again at 630am. A successful on sight of the poorly protected short side of the In Pinn was a welcome start to the day after virtually no sleep. As ever in good weather on the Cuillin you never get to attempt a rock climbing section without an audience. This time it was a Swiss fella who’d run up from Glen Brittle campsite before breakfast, his enthusiasm and photos were most welcome though. We managed to reach the top of Sgurr na Banachdich before cloud came in and made navigating a nightmare, so we bailed down a horrible descent of very steep and thin scree along with dry stream beds (my right thigh is still burning).

Gabe Oliver 1 Aug, 2016 Lead dnf Generally a bit underestimated. Came in from the Elgol ferry on the first day but that meant a slow start as we trekked up to Gars Bheinn in the heat. Didn't go far enough on the first day, left ourselves too much to do and when the rain rolled in earlier than forecast we had to bail just short after Sgurr Mhudaidh. Definitely will be back to do it properly next time!

Spectacularly brutal experience and one of the hardest days out ive done. Initial team had had enough come TD Gap so continued alone but met some cool people along the way being allowed a rope on TD very kindly! Inspiring sunrise and mint conditions kept my legs going.

Left bivi gear on summit and did Gars-Beinn and back. Bivied. Left Sgur an Eag at 5.10am dumping bivi gear at the first bealach. Arrived Gillean at 6.10pm (at Slig for food at 8.30pm). Only missed the Basteir tooth as both frazzled by then (did Am Basteir from the other side after bypassing on North side). No queuing (unlike last time I did it). Very good weather but very warm and sticky, a melting snow patch at Bealach na Glaich Moire saved the day in terms of water. Fantastic day marred only by the next day having to collect our stashed gear!

TomGB 1 Jun, 2016 Solo O/S a mixed bag. Fantastic weather and scrambling, with amazing views. However, there's a lot more hellish slogging than scrambling! Done over 2 days with a bivvy at the lochan which wasn't my preference. Missed TD Gap and Basteir Tooth as well. Ultimately done as a group of 9 which meant we took absolutely ages with abseiling and waiting around etc, probably 23 hours hut to slig. Would like to do again in a single push with all climbing obstacles surmounted.

quiffhanger 1 Jun, 2016 Solo Great day. So lucky to get such great conditions and weather on first trip to Skye. South to North. A very un-Alpine 9am start. Started the Ridge properly about 11:30 and quested on for just over 9 hours on the ridge. Then a seemingly endless descent to the Slig gunning for last orders. Almost bailed when we ran out of water (2l per person is not enough if it's hot!) but luckily had some supplies stashed at the Bastier Tooth to re-energise for the final push. Never done anything like it and v glad my knees held out as would likely have had to wait years for another opportunity. Kit list: food, 2l water, waterproof, softshell, head torch, light insulated jacket, 1 sling (for harness), belay plate & 30m of skinny rope for the abs. Should have skipped on the insulated jacket and taken and extra litre of water (and extra suncream!) otherwise think we got it right.

Mark Collins 27 May, 2016 Solo Started at 3am from Glen Brittle, warm (topless) half moon lit (no headtorch) ascent of Gars Bheinn, reached the summit at 6am. Bypassed Caisteal a' Garbh-choire, Sgurr Dubh an Da Bheinn, Sgurr Dubh Mor and Thearlaich-Dubh Gap. Ascended Sgurr Alasdair via the chimney and south west ridge. Descended Sgurr Thearlaich via the Coruisk side. Bypassed Sgurr Mhic Choinnich via Hart’s Ledge. Ascended Sgurr Dearg via the Brown Ramp and the Inaccessible Pinnacle via its east ridge. Ascended all the middle peaks until Bidein Druim Nan Ramh, which I bypassed on the left. Ascended all the other peaks until the Bhasteir Tooth and Am Basteir, which I bypassed on the north side. Left pack at Bealach a’Basteir and ascended Sgurr nan Gillean via it’s west ridge, reaching the summit at 7:30pm (13.5 hours on the ridge), and then descended the same way and reached Sligachan at 10:45pm (19.75 hours door to door), just in time for a pint of lemonade (couldn’t face a beer or food, had any been available). Highlights:- Reaching a deserted Inaccessible Pinnacle and standing on the summit. Having cuckoo calls as a virtually constant companion. Not getting caught in any bottlenecks. The early morning light on the first part of the ridge. Seeing red deer on the ascent of Gars Bheinn. Meeting other parties, one of which was from Adlington (small World). Lowlights:- Not being fit enough. Not including more of the ridge. Topping out on Gillean in a cloud. Lessons Learned:- I took too much food and consumed 2 Bagels, a bag of Cashews and raisins, KP Honey Cashews, half Churitso, 3 Baby Bels, 3 Double Deckers, and 3 litres of water which I only started drinking once I’d reached the first summit, having consumed a litre and a half in the campsite beforehand. I should have taken more easily accessible foods, perhaps cut up Bagels and Churitso beforehand and bag, so I can pocket. Must train for this in future, as I was physically unable to take in all that I should have and finish in a reasonable time. I only used the rope to abseil off the Inaccessible Pinnacle which makes me think that I could possibly make an attempt without one in future. Miscellaneous:- Picked up a tick nymph probably on the ascent of Gars Bheinn. It was a beautiful but warm day and thankfully some high cloud appeared at the Northern end of the Cuillin in the afternoon.

Left tent at 5am. 2nd attempt to do it in a day and so close this time. Slept in the bealach of Gars-bheinn, did 9 munros and all the tops along the main ridge from Garbh-bheinn to Bruach na Frithe, exiting off Sgurr a' Bhasteir at 10pm as we didn't fancy finding our way up the ledges onto The tooth, Am Basteir and continuing up to Gillean in the dark. Will bring a small rack next time to do Naithsmith's Route. Collie's Ledge saved us loads of time instead of doing Kings Chimney this time and abseiled into the TD gap and took the scree slopes across to the West ridge and bealach of Alasdair as I personally hated the climb out of the gap last time. Soloed the SE ridge including the big toe boulder on top and abseiled off the Inn Pin again which was so cool. The central section of the ridge was the most technically demanding and took a lot of energy to work out. Thanks to the runner in red who came at just the right time to help us find the best way up. Joined a couple of other teams along the way and combined heads to route find. Met a guy in sandals who somehow must have levitated his way along from Gillean. Back next year to get this done with more experience

Will Jerram 28 Sep, 2015 - A fantastic Mountaineering experience. This epic route/ mountain expedition on Skye really does present an array of monstrous teeth set amongst some of the best rock and mountain scenery I'v ever encountered, striking ocean views and scrambling that goes on for ever but which you never tire of. I was amazed at just how technical the route finding was and soon learnt that that interment knowledge of which way to turn at every other rock was key to success.

john jennings ?Jun, 2015 AltLd After three trips abandoned to ineptitude or weather, we did a fine traverse in 13.5 hrs on ridge. Success largely thanks to Conan's route knowledge and the weather being first thing to sort out. We did all the climbs and all the Munro summits. We soloed the Inn pinn. I led the TD gap easily after being stuck there in the snow previously (what a difference a dry day makes.) Conan led King's Chimney (harder on the day, as greasy) and Naithsmith's route, (felt serious at 8 pm after all that un-roped exposure and feeling tired.) Walking back from Bealach a Bheister into Fionn Choire and down to Fairy Pools carpark seemed like a good way off. Shame we had no car there and had to walk back to Glen Brittle campsite. 21 hrs round trip. Simply the best mountain day.

atom 9 May, 2015 Solo dnf Set off from Glen Brittle campsite at 4am, grueling slog up to Gars-bheinn summit for 6:30 and amazing views as the sun rose. Sgurr nan Eag at 7:30. Lost some time working our way over the scree slopes on the South side of Sgurr Dubh Mor, summit 9am. Much easier to go on the other side after Sgurr Dubh an Da Bheinn and come back the same way. Bit of confusion at the TD gap where we met a bunch of lads from York who thought they were on it, scrambled past to find the abseil into the gap off fixed slings. 10:45am. Climb back up pretty tricky in hiking boots and rucksack. Very smooth and polished and only had a limited rack. Managed to get up by way of a half body jam. Very relieved double arm jam at the first break after the crux. Recommend climbing boots. Summited the spectacular Sgurr Alasdair at 12pm then scrambled up and over Sgurr Thearlaich across house roof slabs. Abseiled into the Bealach Mhic Choinnich to Kings Chimney. Climbed in hiking boots but hauled my bag up before belaying Rebecca this time. Much more enjoyable climbing here. Sgurr Mhic Choinnich at 3pm. Skipped An Stac and then soloed the Inaccessible Pinnacle which was awesome. Abseiled off at about 5:30. Quick bite to eat on Sgurr Dearg. Called it a day after Sgurr na Banachdich at 6:45pm. Didn't fancy a bivvy out on the ridge with no bag. Will come back in September to attempt again and probably miss out the climbing so we can go lighter and quicker. Not bad for our first attempt though. Ascended Coir' an Eich and back to the Glen Brittle road. Luckily managed to catch a lift back to Sligachan Campsite with a really friendly couple from Brazil on tour of UK for their 2 year anniversary

First half of the day was complete clag, dodged TD gap climb by going up west ridge of Alasdair, which was hairy. Also dodged King's chimney and skirted round Am Basteir on Sligachan side. This last dodge was probably harder than climbing over the thing as it involved loose scree and hard snow with no winter gear. Pointy rocks make half decent ice daggers. A great day. Only met 2 other people all day.

Did it South to North, Bivvying out under the Inn Pinn. 3 hours sleep in a layby before the first day added to a sense of otherworldliness. Finished strongly and were down in Sligachan early evening on day two. Nailed all the classic climbing bits like TD gap and naithsmiths route.

samrad 23 Apr, 2014 - Interesting day. very cloudy and wet in the morning. then it cleared up at 10am just before the TD gap. we then made good progress. before it sweeping back in soaking us and reducing visability to about 10-15m by 4pm. got to the basteir tooth and decided that climbing an unknown route in howling winds and rain with 5nuts was not a good idea. so bailed from there. gutting as we were on track for doing it sub 10h then getting caught by the weather so close to the end! Next time!

Did the rest the next day carrying water and bivi gear, I led TD Gap and Naismith's, we skipped King's Chimney. Be aware, the spring just after Bruach na Frìthe is only a trickle just now. We spoke to some guys who collected water below the valley that you drop into after the three tops of Mhadaidh, might be a better bet. Amazing, amazing experience.

Tom Stoddart 11 Jul, 2013 AltLd Two-day traverse of the main ridge, including all the climbs, with a planned bivi. We pitched the TD Gap and Naismith's Route, moved together on An Stac and the Inaccessible Pinnacle, and abseiled in four places; other than that the rope stayed in the bag. The bivi was beautiful, we woke to a cloud inversion which stayed with us for much of the second morning. Given the excellent weather I'm glad we got to experience that. I understand the sense in trying it as a one-day push, but I think we'd have had less fun.

Stuart Hurworth 17 Jun, 2013 Solo dnf Amazing place. 4am start up to Loch Coir a Ghrunnda, gained the ridge by 6am, left bags and then along to Gars-bheinn to 'start' at 7am! Got back to backs and carried on to Sgurr Dubh na da Bheinn at 10am where I released I couldn't keep up the pace and also mildly twisted my ankle! Called it a day and relaxed, ate lunch, took some photos and generally enjoyed the amazing surroundings in the sunshine. Carefully walked back to Glenbrittle and went for a swim. Boots would have been useful if i'd owned some at the time. Rock is super sharp and it's easy to twist ankle, especially if moving at speed and tired/fatigued. Next time will try and walk in to Gars-bheinn low down or come on ferry, then probably bivouac, and also generally allow more time, be well rested and pace myself on the walk up to the ridge!

Probably one of the more serious days out that you can have on the British hills, on account of it being so exposed and in-your-face for just so long and with huge death fall potential awaiting a stumble pretty much at all points of the ridge. Billy led TD gap at 6am, we pitched Inn-Pin and soloed Basteir Tooth (this section was the most confusing on the ridge.) Wall-to-wall sunshine, cooling breeze. 1500 miles round trip from Cornwall over a long weekend. Brilliant stuff, fantastic five star route and a day that will live long in the memory. Cheers Bill.

Had glorious weather for first day and a half, but finished in rain. Led all the climbing pitches. Got to bivvy site around 10pm after climbing the Inn Pin in a gorgeous lingering twilight. Others left me to put my feet up while they went to collect the stash and I watched the sun hang above the horizon, sipping Talisker from my hip flask. One of my greatest alcoholic experiences!
