Cuillin - Sgurr Mhic Choinnich and Sgurr na Banachdich 1 Sept 2019

Day two of the Cuillin saga, and the best weather day of the trip - some sun on the lower slopes (plus a very close Golden Eagle in Glen Brittle!) and the cloud lifted off the ridge and most of the Munros for part of the day, such that we could see the intimidating jagged nature of the whole thing, so incredibly rugged and challenging - on this second day we had the option of doing the hardest Cuillin Munro of them all, the Inn Pinn - I opted to leave this for another day, as although the wind had lessened on yesterday's conditions, the rock was still wet and the mist was swirling, and I found conditions challenging, especially the slippery basalt. So we did Sgurr Mhic Choinnich (3,110') and Sgurr na Banachdich at 3,166', and I bypassed the Pinn on Sgurr Dearg for another day. A longer day, but another 2 challenging peaks bagged with the use of ropes and short climbing / scrambling pitches where required...…. Munros #235.
