    Hiking

    Sgùrr Dearg – Inaccessible Pinnacle (AKA In Pinn) is a prominent peak in the Cuillin Range of Skye.
    The Pinnacle itself is a austere and rocky spike and not a hiking summit.
    All routes to the summit involve different degrees of climbing, with the easiest of the summer routes being graded as Moderate, with some serious exposure.
    You MUST bring suitable equipment, as well as being a proficient climber, or consider going with an appropriate guide.

    Mountaineering

    The Inaccessible Pinnacle (often referred to as the In Pinn) is the spectacular pinnacle that crowns Sgùrr Dearg. The easiest way to the top is via the east ridge, a Moderate rock climb. This makes it the most difficult of all Scotland's Munros.

    Mountaineering

    Quote here Wikipedia, as aptly formulated: The Inaccessible Pinnacle, almost always called only In-Pinn, forms the actual summit of Sgùrr Dearg. He is the summit upstream on the steep, southern flank. On the one hand, it is distinguished by its special shape, as it seems to look like a huge stone razor blade set on the mountain. On the other hand, he is generally considered the most difficult of all Scottish Munros and on top of that the only one whose climbing is possible only by climbing.
