Isle of Skye - Cuillin Ridge Guiding
Skye is home to the highest concentration of scrambling terrain in the UK it offers a paradise for those wishing to challenge themselves on its jagged peaks. With extensive knowledge of the Cuillin I am able to offer a number of days and trips!
Cuillin Traverse - A single push traverse of the ridge is the finest mountaineering challenge in the UK. The 12km ridge comprises of sections of climbing at Vdiff with most choosing an overnight bivouac on the ridgeline overlooking the Hebrides providing a memorable experience, comparable to anything around the world. Allowing for a 3 day weather window enables the greatest chances for success, using the best 2 days (or a single day for extremely fit individuals) for the traverse. Ideally this is suited to experienced, fit mountaineers who have a degree of flexibility of days for success.
Cuillin Munros - Whether an individual day to climb the Inaccessible Pinnacle or you wish to tackle the 11 Munros of the main Cuillin ridgeline over 4 days I have availability between April and October every year. These days are always tailored fully around your needs but a sample itinerary for a 4 day Munro course would be:
Day 1 - Sgurr nan Eag, Sgurr Dubh Mor and Sgurr Alasdair
Day 2 - Sgurr Mhic Choinnich, The Inaccessible Pinnacle and Sgurr na Banachdich
Day 3 - Sgurr a'Mhadaidh and Sgurr a'Greadaidh
Day 4 - Sgurr nan Gillean, Am Basteir and Bruach na Frithe
