Wonderful solo of Pinnacle Ridge

My wife Penelope and I scrambled up the Pinnacle Ridge in June of 2014. We found the route very nice and totally do-able without rope. We did rap from the Third Pinnacle, then followed the ridge up Knight's Peak to the summit of Sgurr nan Gillean. The trip was sugested to us by the wardens of the Glen Brittle Hut Sandra and Tim Winter, an excellent suggestion. The trip took us 7 1/2 hours CTC.

Awesome little peak on the end of the ridge  Sucess!

Been up twice. Great views over the ridge and out to sea over the loch

Second attempt  Sucess!

After traversing the "Pinnacle ridge" in 1986 we failed to reach the top due to poor snow. Returned in 1990 to climb Am Bhastier and SNG with Chris M.

Exciting rappel  Sucess!

Did a couple of ascents whilst doing the ridge in the early 90's.
The rappel (shown) off one of the pinnacles was a spectacular one, landing on a narrow ridge before having to scuttle down a crack to regain the main ridge on the way to the summit.
