Trip Description
You’ll be glad to know that you don’t have to be a top notch rock climber to negotiate even the most technical sections of the ridge, or any of its dozen or so main summits. With guiding & instruction you can access some alpine style terrain while learning about all the safety considerations en-route.
Of course good fitness and a head for heights are important as we’ll try to explore as much as we can of the main ridge over five days. On the way you’ll learn a lot about looking after yourself with rope & rock protection. So if you’ve thought about the Inaccessible Pinnacle or the mighty Sgurr Nan Gillean then join us on this memorable week.
This trip is based on Skye and is priced as a Course Only trip with a daily meeting point at the Sligachan hotel or pick ups by arrangement.
