	Walking in Skye and other places - Sgurr Alasdair
		I was in the pub in Portnalong the night before when I got talking to Tom and his mates who had come to Skye for the week from Cockermouth, Cumbria.
		Continuing on to Alasdair I had my most unnerving moment of any walk I'd done (I was petrified actually).
		There is dodgy part on the path where a small gap needs to be crossed and the idea is to step onto a ledge(with left foot), grab a hand hold and step of again.

		Sgurr Dearg (Inaccessible Pinnacle), Sgurr Mhic Choinnich and Sgurr Alasdair
		The look on their faces said it all, where probably normally they would be asserting the right and wrong way to do things, with over confidence, were now pale and silenced by the moment of reckoning as they faced the Pinnacle bearing over them.
		Sgurr Mhic Choinnich is the only Skye Munro I've done before - but it was under thick cloud and hard rain at the time.

	Cuillin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Generally they receive less attention than their higher neighbours, and consequently the word Cuillin without a colour prefixed is often taken to mean the Black Cuillin.
		The highest point of the Cuillin, and indeed the Isle of Skye, is Sgurr Alasdair in the Black Cuillin.
		The Black Cuillin are mainly composed of basalt and gabbro, the latter being a very rough rock which makes for superb grip for mountaineers.

		In mist, your only indication is to listen out for the clunking of the rocks (and the odd cry of pain as someone twists an ankle!).
		The stone shoot is the only access for the walker on to Sgurr Alasdair.
		Sgurr Alasdair (993m), translated as the Peak of Alexander, is named after Sheriff Alexander Nicolson who made the first ascent of the Great Stone Shoot in 1873.

	The Skye Ridge Traverse
		Sgurr Alasdair (993m) is the highest peak and is situated immediately West.
		On a good day the views of the ridg from any of the summits is incredible but the location of Sgurr Alasdair surely affords it the best view of all.
		This is the distinctive notch in the ridge just before Sgurr Dearg - you should note this from the corrie on the walk-in.

	About United Kingdom - Over to Skye and a scramble to Sgurr Alasdair (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The hill common to the requirements of the three of us was Sgurr Alasdair, the highest peak in Skye at 992m.
		The first recorded ascent by Alexander Nicolson, (Alasdair MacNeacail in Gaelic) one of the early Cuillin explorers, was in 1873 and the peak now bears his name, a practice almost peculiar to Skye.
		There is a snag, however, in that approach and it is called the Great Stone Chute, a massive scree that runs from a steep gully just to the east of the summit of Sgurr Alasdair, all the way to Coire Lagan.

	Sgurr nan Eag / Coir' a' Ghrunnda
		To the left and above the screes rise the steep cliffs to the Sgurr Alasdair complex, to the right steep boulder screes rise at a remarkable angle to the shoulder that leads to Sgurr nan Eag.
		The summit is marked by a well made cairn perched on top of a narrow outcrop and we settled down for a rest and bite to take in the view - and for a second lesson on the tin whistle.
		Below is Loch Coruisk, to the north the rocky ridges of Sgurr Dubh Mor, behind this are Sgurr Dearg and the In Pin; and the northern peak of Sgurr nan Gillean is hidden from view.

		We then scrambled to the next top, at which point Graeme realised he missed Sgurr Alasdair (which is not on the main ridge) and decided to return to bag it (I always suspected there is a repressed Munroe-bagger inside his soul), while Tim and I waited.
		The weather started improving once past Sgurr na Banachdich, and we got beautiful sunshine on what some say is the best section of the ridge toward An Dorus.
		Descending the secondary top of Sgurr Alasdair toward Sgurr Mhic Choinnich, go to the very end of the ridge and then descend through a narrow slot on the left, trending right-wards.

		The ridge between Sgurr Alasdair and Mhic Choinnich is hard scrambling, the descent of Sgurr Theralaich can be either abseiled or avoided on either the left (the bets option) or ridiculously exposed slabs on the right.
		Ascending Sgurr Mhic Choinnich is one of the highlights and colklies ledge is the easiest and most dramatic.

		If you are lucky and it's sunny the way on to Alasdair is obvious, if it's not (as we had) you may take a few goes to find the right ridge to walk down to get to the south face of Alasdair.
		Leave Alasdair down the normal tourist route (north eastish) until you get down to the top of the Great Stone Shoot.

	Sgurr Alasdair (Munro) - MunroMagic.com
		Sgurr Alasdair is the highest peak on the Black Cuillin Ridge.
		The Cuillin are composed of gabbro rock which gives wonderful grip even when wet, but these mountains have steep faces and narrow ridges which invariably require scrambling or even rock-climbing to reach the summit.
		The ascent of Sgurr Alasdair starts in Coire Lagan up the gully that ascends to the NN face of Sgurr Alasdair.

		The Monday was the first day and we tackled two adjacent Munro tops, Sgurr a' Ghreadaidh and Sgurr a' Mhadaidh, from the narow col of An Dorus.
		By now we had completed three major walks on successive days and were in need of a rest - opting to do this and hope for two full days at the end of the week.
		Returning to the high ridge the obvious target was a return visit to Sgurr nan Gillean - this time to see the view - and to add variation it was suggested that we ascend by the west ridge rather than the Tourist Route.

		I was on the wrong side of the hill to catch the early morning sun and it was still very cold as I climbed steeply up this ridge.
		I climbed onto the south-east ridge of Sgurr nan Gillean, peak of the young men, and entered the cloud.
		On the Thursday we climbed Sgurr Mhic Choinnich via the An Stac screes, went along Collie’s Ledge, over Sgurr Thearlaich and onto Sgurr Alasdair.

		We came off the ridge too far to the North of the Bealach Coire Na Banachdich and spent a considerable time clambering down the head of the Coire until we finally found a terrace which led us to the stream and our path back to the car.
		When I went with Mike we continued scrambling up the crest of the ridge and onto Sgurr na Banachdich and returned via Sgurr Nan Gobhar,which provided a very interesting way off.

		Another Skyeman, Sheriff Alexander Nicolson, also did a great deal of climbing in the Cuillin and the highest peak, Sgurr Alasdair, is named in his honour.

		It is this magnificent rocky tower that has seen the end of many a Munrobaggers dreams, apparently there are a lot of hill goers who have done them all apart from the Inn Pinn.
		The more experienced will probably climb the Pinn as part of the Coire Lagan round which involves climbing Sgurr Alasdair via the Cioch, then continuing on over Sgurr Thearlaich, Sgurr Mhic Choinnich and then An Stac.
		The Inn Pinn however is regarded as the hardest Munro, the easiest route is The East ridge which is a moderate but fairly polished climb, graded more for the exposure than technical difficulty, a rope may help the more nervous gain some confidence on this climb.
