    Another grand video on a perfect winter's day. My brother and I did Sgurr na Stri a few years ago. We did a linear route. We took the boat to Loch Scavaig, climbed Sgurr Na Stri, and then walked back to Sligahan. It was a great day out.

      It's such a magnificent viewpoint. I did it last year in full snow conditions too. We were lucky enough to get a big snow storm, followed by a lovely blue sky day. It never seems to last long in the glen with the salty air. I've never used the boat yet, but looks like a great way to approach the hill.

      Hi, thanks. These are such beautiful mountains. The scrambling isn't as hard as it looks, just some of the exposure in the Cuillins can be overwhelming if not used to it. A guide is always a great idea if at all unsure of the routes, and they can deal with any rope stuff that may be required.

    Another good video of a quieter part of Skye - helped by good weather. I have done the first two hills on the walk in similar conditions. I was going to do Glamaig, but I had cramp on the way down to the col! from the second top. Is the ascent to Glamaig from the col as steep as it looks?

    • @andy-astro
      @andy-astro 3 місяці тому

      Hi. Yeah, that last climb up to Glamaig is very steep with a lot of scree. There are lots of grassy patches you can stick to on the way up though, to avoid most of the scree. Thankfully it was dry, so the grassy patches were quite grippy.
