Skye - Cuillin, 15th June, 2008

Myself, Alan, Gordon, Mark, Willy and Adam Hughes of Hughes Mountaineering (Adam also works at the Edinburgh Internationl Climbing Arena at Ratho), went up to Skye to try and do as much scrambling as possible.
Our luxury accommodation; the Sligachan Bunkhouse - midges inclusive!
We headed up Bruach na Frithe to start as the day was reasonabley clear.
We then dropped down to the base of the Lota Collie route.
Mark and Willy climbing one of the many chimneys that lead to the top.
This 300m moderate makes an interesting way to the summit of Am Basteir.
Passing under the Bastier Tooth.
Adam sorting the ropes as we started Sgurr nan Gillean but time, and weather, was geting on so we dropped down into the Basteir corrie and out.
Looking across to the Innaccesible Pinacle, tommorrows objective.
