Cracking stuff as always....
How do you arrange such weather all the time?

Excellent report Rockhopper. A good read, great pics and lots of familiar views from the best ridge in the UK.

What a great (if scary) week - bet that's generated a wee sigh of relief getting them in the bag
Wondered when you were going to get round to these ones.
I really don't like some of your pictures - ie the ones with dangles over big drops

What a way to break your scrambling Skye duck with tackling the In Pinn

Fantastic stuff and you appeared to have struck lucky with the weather. Reading your report I can see that having a guide gave you confidence...this may be the way I go when I get round to the ridge.

Well it looks like 8 or 9 more weekends should see you to the end of this magical journey, have you a picked out your last one yet...Ben More or Ladhar Bheinn? You planning to compleat before winter?

Now if i get them Mullardoch, Ullapool and Skye Munros done I should be just about level pegging with you...and looking at your munro map would have the same hills to climb.

ps had to laugh at your quip about getting fit

Fantastic Rockhopper, that's the way to do it, I'll be referring back to your report when when my time comes for these hills. Well done!!!

I'm turning a bit green with envy reading this. Looks like money well spent. Great achievement getting them all done in one visit...well 5 days you know what I mean.
Great photos and report...what you gonna spend them on???

WOW, just stunning, I've only just read your Mullardoch Circuit report and really thought it would be some time before I saw another like that.....then along comes another almost immediately (well immediately in terms of me reading 'em anyway)

The photos are spectacular and the outcome of all that effort well worth the investment of both time and money. All in all an Incredible 5 days and timed to perfection weather wise

Wonderful rockhopper, I just loved reading through that. Lot's of great memories for me there, plus equally lot's of new places for me too. Heading back soon is the plan. Well done, looks like you seriously enjoyed yourself

ps...having a guide and insight to the Black Cuillin is crucial, be it for the whole trip or at least parts of the adventure. I was lucky and still am lucky to have an experienced friend and guide to bounce ideas off and have come along, though he likes to leave me to it for many sections

Are you going to be returning for more?

What a great report and stunning photos, rockhopper. Never in a month of Sundays will I make it onto most of these,given my vertigo though I've managed the 'easier' ones.But still love reading about and seeing what non-fearties can do! Great achievement.

[Bog_Seeking_M1ssle]

Great report! Looks like a whole lot of (scary) fun!

[gammy leg walker]

Never one to do anything by half RH and once again you have excelled with this one.

Alan & me used Paddy for the Inn Pin and he was great for us.

[Bruno]

First class!
Paddy sounds a really good guy to have with you on the hill!
Well done - very enjoyable article with loads of great pictures!

Brilliant stuff once again Rockhopper, i guess that's the best way to tackle the Cuillins. Getting closer to compleation.

Just brilliant, Rockhopper. This has really got me looking forward to Skye; I'd already realised that using a guide would be the way to do it. I bet it feels great to have got these done, although it's an experience to relish, not just 'get out of the way'. Your photos give an excellent impression of what's involved.
