A definitive 2-volume guidebook to the 12 Munros of the Cuillin on the Isle of Skye - the most technically demanding Munros in Scotland, rising in a jagged 3000ft skyline straight from the sea. More than simple hillwalking, these summits demand Grade 3 scrambling, rock climbing to Moderate and abseiling, technical skill, a head for heights, and confidence on steep and exposed rocky ground. This set is written for experienced mountain walkers, Munroists and seasoned scramblers looking to complete the Cuillin ridge peaks safely and efficiently.
Volume 1 covers planning and logistics, seasonal and weather considerations (with a focus on the summer "window" from May to September), recommended kit for technical ground and the best bases in Glen Brittle and Sligachan. It also introduces the history and character of each of the 12 summits. Volume 2 provides five carefully structured routes - a 5-day itinerary that can also be broken down into bite-sized chunks of a single peak or two per day - with step-by-step route description, Harvey mapping and detailed photo topos to support safe navigation on complex terrain. The two volumes are sold together.

Über den Autor / die Autorin
Adrian is a mountain guide and photographer living on Skye. He has been climbing since the 1980s with a CV that includes Alpine north faces, big walls in Yosemite and first ascents on the White Cliffs of Dover. After a very traditional schooling and a BA in history from King's College, London, Adrian devoted himself to climbing and photography. Jobs were often temporary and a means to finance climbing trips. His work in the outdoor industry included 12 years at Ogwen Cottage in Snowdonia, one of the few places in the UK to regularly take secondary school students multi-pitch climbing. Adrian and his wife, Bridgette, live at the foot of the Cuillin and feel they are living their dream life. Together, they run a guiding and photography company, All Things Cuillin, and have set up the very popular Facebook group of the same name.
