Just back from Skye over the weekend.Had meant to do more than I did,but an unexpected fall of snow put paid to doing a few more hills.But,did manage to get up Bruach na Frithe,(probably the easiest of the Skye munros),and recommend its ascent if in the area,and the weather is good.The views are simply fantastic.
There are 2 ways up,either by the standard tourist routes,or by following the West ridge up from Glen Brittle.The West ridge is the option I took as follows.
Bruach na Frithe - Take the road from Sligachan on Skye round to Glen Brittle.As you drive down the Glen Brittle road,there is a car park at the first piece of forestry on your RHS.Park there,cross the road,and follow the path towards the hills,to where it splits in 2.The path on the right takes you to the fairy pools,but take the path to the left.

The path takes you past the trees on the left to the dip before the start of the ridge,where there is a cairn near a lochan where you turn right to start up the ridge

Without giving the views away,and to give an idea of terrain,there is an initial scree slope...

...and the below photo gives an idea of the worst bit of exposure(path up to the left).

The rest is pretty straight forward if that looks bearable.There is a path that carries on beyond the lochan which takes you round to a more gentle ascent up the hill if not.
