Sgurr a Mhadaidh & Sgurr a Ghreadaidh
Glen Brittle
Twin-topped Sgurr a Ghreadaidh is the highest peak on the northern half of the Cuillin Ridge; it can be climbed either with its neighbour Sgurr a Mhadaidh or on separate excursions; both peaks involve tough scrambling but have fantastic views.
Terrain - The ascent of An Dorus is on steep scree and the routes to the peaks from there involve steep and tricky scrambling. There is an easier option on Sgurr a Mhadaidh but there is still a fair amount of scrambling involved.
Grade 5
Distance 9.5km (5.9 miles)
Ascent 958m (3143ft)
