点评:Thanks to Dave and his incredible guiding skills we completed the Cuillin Ridge Traverse over two days in heatwave conditions.
On the lead up to the climb we spoke a number of times discussing aims and also how the weather was looking.
With a weather window showing a few days earlier than originally planned we decided to head over to Skye and what a decision it was with dry rock and views as far as the eye could see!
His intimate knowledge of the ridge and location of its water sources meant I never had to carry more than 3lts of water between the different springs on the ridge, enabling us to move at a good speed while staying hydrated at the same time.
Both days we decided it was best to start at 5 am to beat the heat! We completed 8 of the ridges munro’s on the first day only missing out the TD gap and Kings Chimney to keep moving at good speed.
The bivvy site on Glaic Moire was the perfect spot to enjoy the unreal sunset and give us a good starting point for the second day!
The second days climbing was everything I hoped for and more with the best scrambling I’ve experienced on some of the best terrain in the British Isles!
Dave always made me feel in safe hands, with regular words of encouragement and a great wealth of knowledge of the ridges history and geology.
This was my third time out with Dave, previously both being three day winter mountaineering trips and he certainly made the traverse a trip of a lifetime so would highly recommend to anyone looking for a guide to complete the ridge or any other mountaineering adventure in the highlands!
翻译:感谢Dave和他精湛的向导技巧,我们在两天内完成了库林山脊横跨,尽管天气炎热。
在攀登前,我们多次交流,讨论目标以及当时的天气状况。
由于天气预报显示比原计划提前了几天,我们决定前往斯凯岛。在干燥的岩石和一望无际的美景面前,这是一个多么明智的决定!
他对山脊及其水源位置了如指掌,这意味着我每次在山脊上不同的泉眼之间携带的水量都不超过3升,这让我们能够快速行进,同时保持水分充足。
两天我们都决定最好早上5点出发,这样可以避开炎热!第一天我们完成了8座芒罗山脊,只差TD Gap和Kings Chimney两座山脊才能保持良好的速度。
Glaic Moire的露营地是欣赏如梦似幻日落的绝佳地点,也为我们第二天的攀登提供了一个良好的起点!
第二天的攀登完全符合我的预期,甚至超出了我的预期,我体验到了在英伦三岛最佳地形上最棒的攀爬体验!
戴夫总是让我感到安心,他经常鼓励我,而且他对山脊的历史和地质了如指掌。
这是我第三次和戴夫一起出游,之前两次都是为期三天的冬季登山之旅,他确实让这次横跨之旅成为了毕生难忘的旅程,所以强烈推荐给任何正在寻找向导来完成山脊之旅或其他高地登山探险的人!
