This was DURC's second trip of 2013 to the Isle of Skye, once again staying at the Glen Brittle Memorial Hut. If anything the weather was even better this time round and we were treated to some amazing views - see the video below!

Trip report
While Ali and David took on Sgurr Dearg, a large group of us (about 8-10) went off to attempt/look at Sgurr Dubh More and Sgurr Nan Eag. The weather was gorgeous and the majority of the walk until we got into the snowy corrie was done in t-shirts.

The views were incredible and the higher we got the more magnificent it got, looking south east-at all the islands. After some scrambing into the corrie we had a pleasant slushy snow walk up to the ridge which involved more (rather more scary) scrambling. A few members of the group went to attempt Sgurr Dubh More, but after assessing the conditions decided against it. Then four of the more braver members of the group went and did Sgurr nan Eag while the rest of us dropped back down to the corrie.
