Scrambling
Scrambling in the Cuillins is some of the most exciting in the UK. From classic routes to hidden gems we have it all! Our Cuillin days out are flexible- we tailor routes to suit your fitness, objectives and of course the weather. If you're new to scrambling there are plenty of amazing introducary routes to tickle your fancy. If you're a more experienced mountaineer, we will be delighted to guide you on some of the lesser known paths. There are routes of every grade, length and difficulty these mountains.
Cuillin Ridge Traverse
The Cuillin ridge traverse is simply the best mountaineering challenge in the UK. The difficulty of the ridge and complexity of route-finding makes the use of a guide a good idea, especially if you're short on time or knowledge. You'll need a good combination of fitness and scrambling ability to complete two demanding days and an overnight bivouac on the ridge. We work with folk over a minimum of 3 days through the process of a traverse attempt, single day attempts are possible for the extremely fit though only when the conditions are perfect.
