A fantastic double Munro followed by some tricky scrambling over the horns.
We made a first attempt on 29th Aug, but it was so windy when we got to the summit of Tom na Gruagaich that we turned back - or were blown back more accurately! Bitterly cold wind, with a bit of sleet too. We tried again the next day....and succeeded. Brilliant day, amazing climb, especially on the horns. Best walk to date.
First attempt: Tom na Gruagaich S, D , A and S
Second attempt: Tom na Gruagaich and Sgurr Mor, S, D and S
Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.
