Day 1 on Skye, tough day out with poor visibility but great day with technical walking and great scrambling made up for the lack of views.Kevthecat03/07/2022
2nd of 3 and 3rd time lucky. This was a seriously tough hill in those conditions. No views unfortunately but good all the same.akmilne27/06/2022

Sgurr nan Eag and Sgurr Dubh Mor with Harrison and Bethany. Roasting hot day added a extra challenge, and Bethany decided to skip Dubh Mor and wait in Coire Ghrunnda for us to return. Was glad to get back to Glenbrittle (where I just about emptied the campsite shop of cold drinks).mproudfoot05/06/2022

Southern 8 Cuillins climbed on rather wet day. An attempt to climb all 11, but plans changed due to weather. 22km, 13h, 2000m elevation gain.ytropek30/08/2020
Solo fr car parked by Glen Brittle campsite, mostly running on improved path to Coir' a' Ghrunnda then scrambled up Eag and to here. Tops all clear with a light dusting of snow, but rather hazy. Excellent pano video from here!NorfolkPT2108/04/2019
via Coire a'Ghrunnda, out and back to Sgurr nan Eag on to Sgurr Dubh na Da Bhein then Sgurr Dubh Mor. Tricky route finding on Sgurr Dubh Mor. With KarenHighland Days08/04/2019
From Glen Brittle with John from Skye Adventure. Cloud base <1000', strong south westerlies. Horrible conditions, all rock soaked with rain and snow melt - lots of slushy slabs. Gloves soaked, hands cold. On to Sgurr Alasdair.Wycombe Wanderer26/03/2019

From Sgurr nan Eag. Glorious sunshine with Dave, Tim and Shireen followed by swim in the lock.N.Morters26/05/2018
A second visit, because the first time I went to the cairn rather than the east top. But there's so little effort to get from one to the other, and so little height difference, that I probably shouldn't have bothered. The second visit was fun though.Pete R10/05/2018

With Rob Wight on his second last munro. Superlative day. Rib into Loch Coruisk. Dubh slabs in clear dry sunny weather. Exciting swinging abseil from Sgurr Dubh Beag nose. Fantastic clear view of Ridge from Sgurr Dubh Mhor. Finally a coastguard helicopter buzzing us in Coire a Ghrunnda. 8 hours walking 12 hour day.alexmaclennan25/05/2017
Part of traverse from Sgurr nan Eag to Sgurr a' Mhadaidh with Ewan.raffemeister08/10/2016
With Brian R. and two German tourists! Used a safety rope but was only necessary for the Germans and we didn't know where to go! Warm and sunny.Play2End25/05/2016

Completed on traverse from Gars-bheinn to Sgurr Alasdair. Traverse from Sgurr Dubh an Da Bheinn loose and difficult in places, final ascent tricky but not too hard. Very airy summit with great views to Bla Bheinn and both directions along ridge.quadbarrel15/10/2014
3 of 5: From Sgurr Dubh an Da Bheinn.ChrisR26/06/2014
Solo, 1st of 2. My first black Cuillin. Left campsite and followed path to Coire Ghrunnda. Hills shrouded in mist made for challenging route finding. Met up with a trio that were traversing the ridge! Some tricky climbing to summit.bowzi16/06/2014
Climbed from Glenbrittle Campsite with dad - solo from Sgurr nan Eag (my dad climbed Sgurr nan Eag then retreated to Loch to await my return) in beautiful clear conditions. Suspect I was slightly too far east of the final slab described in the guidebooks but didn't have any problems with the route I found. Seemed to be one of the very few people on the hill without a Guide.andy04/06/2014

The last main top on the ridge that I had left to do. Reached with Nick P via Coir a Ghrunnda & Sgurr Dubh na Da Bheinn. Summit was in cloud but got views as we headed back to Da do dar Bheinn. Then started to rain and mank in again.signyred09/08/2013

kye for the weekend from B'ham. Arrive at Elgol 4.59 am Sat morning - the fast boat to Loch Coruisk. Up the slabs in big boots via the direct start. The friction so great my hands blead. Abseil not as scary as was made out to be, but the ridge only 2/3 doClachaig30/05/2009
