Branched right from standard Gillean path up grassy rake then over easy ground to join ridge at base of pinnacle, steep but straightforward up and down from there. | alda | 24/05/2018 |
Done with the help of guide Jamie who led the way up Pinnacle Ridge for Nick P & I. Good abseil off the top this one whereas 1st & 2nd hardly had any drops worth mentioning. | signyred | 05/08/2013 |
From Sligachan Hotel, With Robin Howie and Rhona Fraser. We climbed up to the gap between the first and second pinnacles of Pinnacle Ridge, Sgùrr nan Gillian, from the west side and scrambled up the second and third pinnacles. To avoid the abseil off the third pinnacle we went back the way we had come and skirted round the east side to the gap between the third pinnacle and Knight's Peak. We climbed up to the summit of Knight's Peak and down to the col with Sgùrr nan Gillian and on to the summit of Sgùrr nan Gillian. Grade 3 scramble. We returned to Sligachan using the Tourist Route. Good weather. | pwbellarby | 20/06/2010 |
