...Kenny, John and I set out from Fort William at 6am to drive to Skye then traverse what we had time for along the Ridge.
I must admit I don't think any of were hugely motivated whilst driving towards Sligachan: the weather was pretty claggy and damp. But, we went for it anyway hoping for an improvement. Slogging across the moor to Sgurr nan Gillian we decided to include an ascent of Pinnacle Ridge which gave amazing scrambling and an abseil - a great day out in itself. By the time we had dropped down the Bhastair Tooth the skies had cleared, the sun was out and there was a good breeze to dry off the rock. Perfect conditions!
We made good time along the Ridge, reaching Bealach Coire na Banachdich by the afternoon where we dropped down into the corrie towards Glen Brittle. Kenny immediately managed to score a lift back to Sligachan to retrieve the van. Home by 9pm via the chippy in Kyle.
