The Main Cuillin Ridge in 1 day. With Robin Howie. We left Glen Brittle campsite at 03:30. Gars-bheinn was reached at 06:25. Highlights of the day: climbing up and down Caisteal a’ Garbh-Choire; abseiling down in to the Thearlaich-Dubh gap and the climb up the other side with me leading; reaching Sgurr Alasdair; climbing King’s Chimney (Robin leading) to reach Sgurr Mhic Choinnich; climbing An Stac and Inaccessible Pinnacle unroped, the tops of Sgurr a’ Mhadaidh and then Bhasteir Tooth. We reached the base of Naismith’s Route at 21:30. We climbed Naithsmith’s Route to Bhasteir Tooth (me leading-not so bad as it seemed!). It was a struggle on an overhang to reach Am Basteir (Robin climbed it first with one foot in a sling and one foot on my shoulder – he then lowered a rope to me). We went up the west ridge to reach the summit of Sgurr nan Gillean at 23:00! Done it!! Quick handshake and down to reach Sligachan at 02:00.
