Sgurr Dearg and the In Pinn
Glen Brittle
Sgurr Dearg is a fantastic viewpoint, as well as being one of the most dramatic spots on the Cuillin ridge, being overtopped by the famous and incredible Inaccessible Pinnacle. This circuit visits the base of the pinnacle but does not include the ascent!
Terrain - The route involves fairly straightforward scrambling but has a very steep scree descent and fairly difficult route finding throughout. Easy route for Grade 5. If you want to climb the pinnacle but do not have rock-climbing skills, experience and equipment, then you need to hire a guide.
Grade 5
Distance 8km (5 miles)
Ascent 1065m (3494ft)
