    Hiking

    A rocky, knife-edged arête that, along with the Devil's Ridge, is one of the highlights of the classic Ring of Steall traverse. A head for heights is required, but the scrambling here is not technically difficult and is rated at grade one. If seeking comparison, I would say it is akin to Sharp Edge on Blencathra in the Lake District in terms of technicality.

    This rocky ridge lies just South of An Gearanach, and is a grade one scramble. Technical running, and at times requiring hands on the rock, this is the final narrow ridge on the classic Ring of Steall Skyrace. Super skyrunning in good weather.
