Skye Munros: The walker's guide to bagging the Cuillin summits

di Adrian Trendall (Autore)

Cicerone Press, 2026

A definitive 2-volume guidebook to the 12 Munros of the Cuillin on the Isle of Skye – the most technically demanding Munros in Scotland, rising in a jagged 3000ft skyline straight from the sea. More than simple hillwalking, these summits demand Grade 3 scrambling, rock climbing to Moderate and abseiling, technical skill, a head for heights, and confidence on steep and exposed rocky ground. This set is written for experienced mountain walkers, Munroists and seasoned scramblers looking to complete the Cuillin ridge peaks safely and efficiently. Volume 1 covers planning and logistics, seasonal and weather considerations (with a focus on the summer “window” from May to September), recommended kit for technical ground and the best bases in Glen Brittle and Sligachan. It also introduces the history and character of each of the 12 summits. Volume 2 provides five carefully structured routes – a 5-day itinerary that can also be broken down into bite-sized chunks of a single peak or two per day – with step-by-step route description, Harvey mapping and detailed photo topos to support safe navigation on complex terrain. The two volumes are sold together. Step-by-step, way-numbered route descriptions with Harvey mapping and photo topos Covers all 12 Cuillin Munros, including the Inaccessible Pinnacle Includes Munro Top routes and the easiest ascent options for tackling summits individually Practical planning guidance: bases, camping, approach routes and seasonal advice Volume 2 is perfectly sized to carry with you during the hikes
