Duration 5 days ~ A trip for keen hillwalkers who have aspirations to tackle the rockier ridges of the Cuillin.

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.

The last few meters of the Innaccessible Pinnacle

Abseiling from the Innaccesible Pinnacle,
Cuillin Ridge, Isle of Skye

Traverse of Collies Ledge, Sgurr Mhic Coinnich

Duration 5 days ~ You need a few days to be sure of a weather window in order to have real shot at the ridge. Over the five days of this trip we’ll also take the time to do some training on the rock with abseiling and basic climbing techniques featuring heavily.

This is the single most demanding mountain expedition of its kind in Scotland and as such requires a high degree of mountain fitness, good movement on exposed ridges and some abseiling experience.

We will advise you on the first two days of the trip as to suitability and safety. If the weather, or your own fitness, makes the traverse impossible then we’ll tackle the most difficult sections of the ridge as day trips over the following days. One thing is for sure ~ if your up for it and the weather is right then we’ll get you along it!

We base this trip in Applecross at Caol Mhor Guest House and run our training sessions on the local crags. When the weather is right we’ll nip over to Skye and bivouac overnight during the traverse attempt.

Suitable for	Very experienced hillwalkers with some mountaineering experience
