Description
A dedicated book set for the Skye Munros.
The Cuillin mountains on Skye are known for sharp ridges, demanding route-finding, and significant exposure. Skye Munros is designed for mountaineers who wish to plan their ascents thoroughly. The two books divide the content between home preparation and a lighter reference guide for the specific routes in the mountains.
Strategy and route descriptions in two parts.
The first book covers training, equipment, navigation, and logistics. The second compiles detailed maps, topographic sketches, and descriptions of the Cuillin Munros and associated peaks. This division allows for studying the complete overview before the trip and then carrying the section that supports the day’s route.
Understand the actual requirements of the peaks.
The selection includes twelve Munros, including the Inaccessible Pinnacle. This involves more than standard hillwalking: routes may require scrambling up to Grade 3 and climbing at Moderate level, as well as abseiling. The book helps you view skill requirements and planning in context, and assess which trips suit your experience.
Who is this book set suitable for?
The set is aimed at experienced mountaineers with the necessary climbing and belaying skills. Suitable equipment and sound judgment are essential on these routes. Glen Brittle and Sligachan are key bases. May–September typically offers the best summer conditions, though snow, wind, and poor visibility can also affect trip possibilities during this period.
A long tradition of guidebooks.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher grew from climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes—a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
