Description

For experienced mountaineers and scramblers, the Cuillin Ridge Traverse on the Isle of Skye offers a thrilling challenge. Spanning over 14 miles, this iconic route demands technical skill, mental and physical stamina, and a head for heights. While much of the exposed knife-edge ridge is on the cusp between climbing and walking, there are scrambling sections to Grade 3, technical climbs to Severe, and a handful of abseils.

The guidebook provides all the information needed to plan and complete the traverse, including planning and preparation, gear lists, and tips on rope work, weather, safety, and logistics. For those looking to tackle the route in winter, notes and advice are also included. The guide features clear photo topos illustrating lines of ascent and descent, with numbered points to facilitate navigation.

With 11 mighty Munro summits, including the Inaccessible Pinnacle of Sgurr Dearg, this epic challenge is a must for many scramblers and climbers. However, the sheer length of the ridge combined with technical terrain and continual exposure mean that this is no small undertaking. If you're looking for a guide to help you prepare and navigate this iconic route, look no further.
