The Cuillin of Skye

For the past few days, John, Keith, Martin and I have been on Skye mountaineering in The Cuillin. Conditions on the ridge at the moment are quite difficult for this time of year. Each day it snowed putting down wet snow which increases the difficulty of the summits. We wore crampons three out of the four days at various points although if trying to do each of the peaks in isolation this may be avoidable. Despite the difficult conditions we still managed to climb eight Munros and two other summits.

It was a great week and the summits felt even more alpine than normal with the large amounts of snow that are still present.
