Any mudcatters out there who've walked the Cuillin Ridge? The wife and I did it about 16 years ago in about 16 hours from Glen Brittle to the Sligachan pub. There's a lot of scrambling on very exposed rock, and quite a bit of real rock climbing and abseiling as well, and some gob-smacking features like the Innaccessible Pinnacle and the Bhasteir Tooth. At one stage we heard someone climbing towards us out of sight down the cliff, then saw a hand come over the edge, followed by a hook. There was this one handed guy of about 60 soloing about as if he owned the place! - very impressive.
Cheers
