With a friend. Traverse of the Cuillin ridge from Sgùrr Thuilm to Bruach na Frithe. From the main summit of Sgùrr a' Mhadaidh we headed towards the next top of Mhadaidh, crossing a slightly awkward slab where the ridge turns the corner. We wondered if it was easier to keep to the crest here. Climb of the top goes round to the right. We climbed the next top where the rope was used at one point on the ascent. We climbed the final top of Mhadaidh and descended to Bealach Na Glace Moire.pwbellarby04/09/1993

The whole Cuillin Ridge after 5 years of waiting. w Ian & Steve. New ground here to us. A confusion of crazy towers and frightening exposure over the next few tops following Ian who seemed to know where he was going -some 'exciting moves'. until flat rocky plateau of Bealach na Glaice Moire reached - beginning to feel weary now - just as light rain started!Chris Pearson28/05/1988
The Main Cuillin Ridge from Gars-bheinn to Sgurr nan Gillean in 1 day. With Robin Howie. We left Glen Brittle Camp Site at 03:30. After Sgurr a’ Ghreadaidh we went over the four tops of Sgurr a’ Mhadaidh; we were getting tired, so we were careful over the tops of Mhadaidh which were done unroped. We continued and succeeded in reaching Sgurr nan Gillean at 23:00.pwbellarby20/06/1986
