Description

Let me help you traverse one of the most compelling climbs in Scotland! I can improve your chances of completing the elusive Cuillin Ridge and checking it off your climbing bucket list!

The Cuillin Ridge is a well-known mountain range located on the Island of Skye in the United Kingdom. Possessing some magnificent peaks, with a high point at Sgurr Alasdair of 992 meters, its rocky terrain is a perfect place to enjoy a day – or a few days – of scrambling and climbing.

The path is difficult and varied, and you will have ample opportunity to practice your skills, admire the countryside, and endure the challenge of completing the task at hand. I will safely guide you through the ridge and make sure you take advantage of this rare experience!

On our way, we will stay in an overnight bivy. Not only will this give you once-in-a-lifetime moments on the ridge, enhancing your overall experience, but you will see Scottish panoramas that only a handful of adventurers have seen.

Not all journeys end in success. If we are unable to complete the ridge, we will spend all of the days out on the Cuillin enjoying the activities of scrambling and hiking. If we traverse earlier than the four days, we will have time for rest.

Your fitness is crucial to your success. The better equipped you are mentally and physically, the greater your shot of traversing the ridge. It is a relatively demanding course, so be ready to devote yourself to the trek.

So what are you waiting for? I will improve your opportunity to complete one of Scotland´s highest honors – successfully traversing the Cuillin Ridge!

If you want to try this traverse over three days, I can lead you! And I can guide you on a hike up the majestic Ben Nevis!

Mountain Guide

I am a fully qualified Mountaineering Instructor based in Fort William, on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands.
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.

Stewart

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

Lance

Scott was super responsive in all communications. And his colleague, Jordan, was amazing.

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!!!
