So cool, love it. I have never done any of these but the other classic ridges that I am aware of are Liathach traverse, Aonach Eagach, Forcan Ridge on The Saddle, and the An Teallach traverse.
I was on Skye in Feb but totally clagged in. Walked up to Coire Lagan in the pissing rain then went to the Talisker distillery ;)

Did the Cuillin Ridge in a day with @IdealStandard back in June and I can’t stop thinking about how much fun it was. We set off from Glenbrittle at 2.45am with some cold coffee in a soft flask, trudged up to the ride in time for sunrise, and arrived at the Slig for a burger and Guinness at 5pm. Took a small rack and a 6mm tagline so we were fast and light, and with wall to wall sunshine, route finding was a doddle. We had the climbs to ourselves (apart from the InnPinn, but folks were happy for us to solo past them) and everything went v smoothly - 10/10 day. We then posted our climbing stuff back to Bristol and cycled the Hebridean Way. A trip 100% by public transport and bikes - winner!
I know it’s seen as the UK’s only alpine-like route, but any recommendations for other great ridge routes/link ups that are smaller objectives? Or similar days out in the Alps we can put on the bucket list for another season?
