The Cuillins

The Cuillins - een indrukwekkend gebergte op The Isle of Skye. Een deel ervan gezien hier onder een deken van wolken. Voor geinteresseerde: The Cuillin of the Isle of Skye are Britain's most impressive mountains, a compact group of Alpine peaks rearing straight out of the Atlantic. Forming a rough horseshoe more than 11km long, the Cuillin Main Ridge is a complex tangle of rocky summits, offering hundreds of fantastic mountaineering routes in a stunning island setting. Ignore the modest elevation - metre for metre there can be few mountains in the world to match them. They are predominantly made of volcanic Gabbro, which is rough, solid and a delight to clamber over. Big faces, soaring aretes and jagged pinnacles - they've got the lot. Climbing here is a unique and thrilling experience. (www.summitpost.org/cuillin-ridge) .
