The Black Cuillin Ridge is rough, rocky and rugged but the views are simply magnificent. My fellow climber, Bob and I needed a breather on the peaks.
The Black Cuillin Ridge is rough, rocky and rugged but the views are simply magnificent. My fellow climber, Bob and I needed a breather on the peaks.

Commentary. Probably the finest ten-mile ridge of 1,000 metre plus mountain-climbing in the U.K. The Black Cuillin are the truncated base of a 20,000-foot plus Super-Volcano that blew its top over 60 million years ago. The force would have matched the Krakatoa explosion and sent lava over 40 miles in some directions. Today, this Gabbro igneous rock, with basalt intrusions and dykes, is a traverse, par excellence. What makes it outstanding is that it occurs on the Isle of Skye, one of the most outstanding islands in the world. Views take in expanses of over 100 miles from Sutherland to Mull, Rum and Eigg to the Outer Hebrides, Ben Nevis to Slioch and An Teallach. Bays, cliffs, beaches, headlands, peninsulas, islands mountains, glens, forests, lochs, rivers and coastline along a hundred-mile stretch of the North-West Highlands. Truly world-class, and totally awesome!
