    The highest peak on the Isle of Skye and the notorious Black Cuillin, Sgurr Alasdair is every bit as challenging as you’d expect. The routes to the summit are either difficult, long, or both, but the rewards… oh my. Scramble the grippy volcanic gabbro to the deceptively compact summit for other-worldly views and a sense of epic achievement.

      Roped up for the last section - as a hiker more than climber, very glad we had a guide.

        Very technical climb, but the views are like nowhere else. So worth getting a guide and heading up there
