A second day on Skye with Harrison, this time taking in Am Basteir and it's slightly intimidating bad step, along with neighbouring Bruach na Frithe. A very early start from Sligachan meant we were done in under 6hrs and back at the car by 11:10am!mproudfoot27/06/2021

We left the main ridge path to the west of the summit. Our route was harder than needed because we stayed near the crest: there is one point where the path drops down to the left to the base of an easier chimney.Pete R21/05/2016
