Description
Would you like to climb to the top of one of Scotland’s most iconic landmarks? Then join me on this unique Inaccessible Pinnacle ascent in the Isle of Skye.
The Inaccessible Pinnacle, also colloquially referred to as the “In Pinn”, is a 50 m (150 feet) rock fin on the longest edge of the Sgurr Dearg (or “red peak”). Climbing to the top of the In Pinn requires rock climbing skills, and is an exciting feat for those that like a mountaineering challenge.
On this one day ascent, we will aim to start our climb at 8.30 am from Glen Brittle Hut. We will spend a total of 6 hours on the mountain and enjoy hiking, scrambling, rock climbing and abseiling to reach the summit of the In Pinn.
Keep in mind that you will need a good fitness level to achieve this climb. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you every step of the way.
So, are you ready to climb the beautiful Sgurr Dearg and then summit the stunning In Pinn? Then send your request now and we’ll start planning your adventure together!
Or, if you prefer, you can join me on a longer 4-day munro course in the Cuillin Ridge!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
