Description:

Rising a kilometre out of the storm-scoured waters around Scotlands Isle of Skye is a dark battlement of pinnacles and ridgelines: the Cuillin.Plagued by ferocious weather and built from rock that tears skin and confounds compasses, a crossing of the Cuillin is the toughest mountaineering expedition in the British Isles. But the traverse is only part of its lure. Hewn from the innards of an ancient volcano, this mountain range stands like a crown on an island drenched in intrigue. While nineteenth-century climbers flocked to the Alps, the ridge lay untrodden and unyielding. When a generation of mountaineers did come, they found a remarkable prize: the last peaks of Britain to be climbed peaks that would be named after those who climbed them. Along the way, many others, from artists and poets to mystics and wanderers, have been lured by the Cuillins haunting beauty and magic. Those who have been seduced by the deadly magic of these mountains attest to the complexity of humans relationship with the intrigue of our wildest, most dangerous places.The Black Ridge is a journey through the history and into the heights of the Cuillin of Skye from the ridges violent birth to the tales of its pioneers, its thrills, its myths and its monsters. From a night spent in a cave beneath its highest peak to the ascent of its most infamous pinnacle, this is an adventure on foot through all seasons across the most mesmerising mountain range in Britain.
