OK You Guys...

...you heard the lady. She's not allowed to surf the net unless it's relevant to toothy pegs. With her current er, problem, this gives us a day or two to load some stuff up. This is my contribution:-

"Am Basteir is one of the most N peaks on the Black Cuillin Ridge with the very distinctive Bhasteir tooth next to it. The Cuillin are composed of gabbro rock which gives wonderful grip even when wet, but this is a serious climb. Ascent starts in Coire a' Bhasteir N of Sgurr nan Gillean on a path marked by cairns up a rocky slope to the base of the pinnacled ridge. From here the route bears W above scree but below the pinnacled ridge becoming steeper as it ascends towards the N face of the summit and on to Bealach a' Bhasteir. Scramble up E ridge to summit but note you may require use of a safety rope."
