➤ In today's video I will be doing the 3 Southern Munros of the Black Cuillin on the Isle of Skye, Sgurr nan Eag, Sgurr Dubh Mor & Sgurr Alasdair! We also added in the TD Gap for good measure..
*Note these hills are extremely difficult to navigate & require good scrambling/climbing skills - if you are unsure then hire a guide - I used West Coast Mountain Guides (westcoast-mountainguides.co.uk/)
Timestamps:

Scotland has 282 Munro's - Which are peaks over 3000ft in height, I am aiming to climb them ALL!

➤SUBSCRIBE to the channel to keep up to date with the latest Munro's! I will document every single one which will help you get a feel for what they are really like - these are not intended as a guide, always take the precautions before hitting the hills!

Since filming this series in May/June I am saddened to say that Dave Fowler from West Coast Mountain Guides has sadly lost his life in the mountains - I will leave the videos up at the moment in his memory. Dave gave me the best 4 days I have ever had in the Mountains and memories that will last with me forever. His passion and love for the outdoors really shows. He will be sadly missed by myself and many others. Thoughts are with everyone involved at this time - RIP Dave.. 🏔

James, I don’t think you appreciate the quality and beauty of your videos. I stuck this up on my 58” in the living room and the depth of the picture just took me there. You looked like you had such a blast and the weather was just perfect. Looking forward to the next instalments on the ridge 👍🏻

Not gonna lie mate that looked bloody horrific - dont know if i’d have the bottle to do some of the Skye peaks, really not a fan of heights but tbh i’ve not done any yet with a great deal of exposure.. might handle it better in the moment, will need to give it a bash 👀🤣 scenery and video as always is brilliant!

I'm so glad you had such brilliant weather as the views are truly stunning when you can see. However my step son benefited from the opposite - a pea souper all the way from the style at the start. He is terrified of heights but wasn't fazed when he couldn't see the drops. Navigation was definitely interesting.

Wonderful video James, thank you for sharing it. What stunning weather you had and what fantastic views you got. The TD gap looked interesting as an approach to Sgurr Alasdair. Interested in your choice of route there, was that to avoid ascending via the Great Stone Shoot? I am very much looking forward to your next video.

@ScottishMunroJourney Жыл бұрын
Thanks Jonathan, no the TD gap is usually just bypassed on approach to Alisdair from this direction - we just thought we would do it as the conditions are fantastic 😁 the great stone chute was a great way to descend alasdair, the quick way down 😂 Cheers, James

Oh yes. Great to see Skye at last. Super footage as always! I stayed at Sligachan campsite when I went last year and got my first taste of Scottish midges. Drove down to Glenbrittle one day and might well stay there next time even though it's remote. Are there routes up to the peaks that don't require roping/a helmet/a guide?
