While it’s still fairly fresh in the old memory chips, I thought I’d go over the gear side of the Dubhs Ridge, which I climbed a couple of weeks ago. There are three books worth having a look at. Skye Scrambles (I have the old version) which has a superb section on Cuillin geology and a few pages on the Dubhs Ridge, Classic Mountain Scrambles in Scotland which is quite old now and Scotland’s Mountain Ridges which describes the ridge and will whet your appetite for more technical stuff. The best map is The Cuillin by Harvey as it has an enlarged scale on the back that includes the Dubhs Ridge. If you want a very detailed description of the difficulties, a very good article is the one on the rockrun.com site.
