After Sgurr na h-Uamha. Then continued N along ridge and descended Sgurr nan Gillean path to about 370m. Then traversed round to Coire Bhasteir, heading to Sgurr a' Bhasteir.	PGCE	23/05/2023
With Bob and Karen from Sligachan to the Bloody Stone and then south ridge - at least it was supposed to be but grade well above a grade 3 scramble so I guess we pioneered a new line! Descent of N ridge and Sgurr Beag straightforward, returned to coll and down. Jumped short crossing a stream so fell into the bog!	dickscroop	26/05/2018
After Knights Peak on the way to a failed attempt on Sgurr na h-Uamha	vegibagger	02/05/2018
Week with Mum on Skye. Sgurr nan Gillean via the SE ridge from Sligachan. Very long walk in, big climb to the ridge then Mum's first G3 scramble (bit scary!) Spectacular rock scenery. After first gully, avoid imposing short corner ahead by traversing L and up easier rock. Took in Sgurr Beag on the way back.	Mark Jackson	12/07/2013
with Anne Butler & Andy (Sgurr nan Gillean)	davidsbatty	14/06/2009
After SnG. Being new to these hills at the time and alone, I couldn't get down to Am Bhasteir so went do to Uamha as a consolation. Passed over this en route and again on the return to the route back to the Slig.	Jake994	23/07/2008
