Follow Scott, a certified mountaineering instructor, on a breath-taking traverse of the Cuillin Ridge, and see the mountainous side of the Isle of Skye in Scotland.

The Cuillin Ridge is an infamous mountain range in Scotland, and is a perfect location for traversing and climbing adventures. The main ridge runs roughly 12 kilometers in length with rough peaks that make for a complex scrambling network.
There are 11 ¨Munros,¨ or mountains exceeding 914 meters, on Cuillin Ridge, all with accessible peaks to dedicated climbers.
Many trekkers try to reach the top of as many Munros as possible, so this traverse gives you the chance to cross off multiple summits while having the time of your life.
Our adventure allows for three days to make it through Cuillin, with route and trip variations depending on the circumstances of the trek. We will pick the best two days to complete the full traverse, with an overnight bivy on the ridge.
If we should traverse the ridge early, then one of the days will be a day of rest. If the weather is detrimental to our course, we will spend three full days out on the ridge.
This is a relatively difficult journey, with no guarantee that we will complete the route. You should have experience scrambling and be in good physical condition for the best chance of success.
We will err on the side of caution in compromising situations.
Book now and traverse with me through the daunting Cuillin Ridge – I will give you an experience unlike any other in the world!
I can also take you out on a 5-day traverse of the Cuillin Ridge! And I have a great program trekking up Ben Nevis!

I have been guiding in the UK for 10 years and chose the Scottish Highlands due to their remote feel and beauty. Rock climbing, Ice climbing, mixed climbing and more can be done in this area and it is all so accessible.
We offer a wide range of trips with Ben Nevis guiding, the Skye Cuillin ridge and Glencoe guiding amongst our more popular trips.

The guide was Hannah in fact and she was the best, it was a great day and Hannah was brilliant.. I would never have chosen the Pap honestly speaking, however, Hannah did the review also asked a bunch of questions and watched how we did at the beginning so she was confident that it was the right hike for us, and it really was. Please give her a big thanks and to you also for a great experience, the break in the weather really helped as well

Great time walking up Ben Nevis with Kirk's help. It rained the entire time and was unbelievably gusty, but with Kirk's expertise I was able to complete the journey safely!!!
