Cuillin
Traverse 2007
The Traverse of the Cuillin Ridge must be
the finest mountaineering experience in Britain.
The five day course attempts to complete the
traverse over two days - with the option to 'do it in one' if individual fitness
allows.
The Traverse is physically and mentally
challenging. a good level of fitness is essential and some scrambling experience
is desirable.
The days before an attempt on the traverse
is spent gaining or refreshing the skills necessary to feel comfortable when
moving over scrambling terrain with an element of exposure.
The weather has a major part to play in
planning an attempt, judging when to start on the traverse is easier given the
five day course duration.
