    Hiking

    Sgurr a' Mhadaidh is a 3,012-foot (918 m) Munro on the Black Cuillin ridge of the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Despite being a small mountain (considering height alone, by Munro standards), it is one of the most difficult Munros to climb. I enlisted the help of a mountain guide, who took us up An Dorus and onto the summit with the security of a rope.
    Glad I hired a guide for this - not easy, and definitely not helped by zero visibility and strong winds.

    More serious scrambling on the Cuillin - wonderful!
