Skye Mountaineering
professionally guided mountaineering & Rock climbing on the isle of skye
Skye provides some of the best mountaineering in the British Isles with scenery and history to match! The infamous Cuillin Ridge is a major undertaking and a fantastic achievement! Below you will find a sample of the sort of programs I can offer but if you have something else in mind then please get in touch and we can discuss this further.
Inaccessible Pinnacle
The Inaccessible Pinnacle (AKA ‘The In Pinn’) is renowned for being the hardest of the 282 Munro’s to reach the summit of. The easiest route requires completing a rock climb graded ‘Moderate’. This impressive monolith of rock is the highest point on the peak Sgurr Dearg. I can safely guide you to the top and back down again via a variety of routes depending on how adventurous you are feeling!

Cuillin Ridge Traverse
The Cuillin ridge is a 12km long ridge of continuous interest to the mountaineer, with eleven of its summits being Munro’s (Scottish hills over 3000ft). A full traverse of the main ridge normally takes 2 days to complete in summer conditions with a night spent sleeping on the crest of the ridge. Difficulties reach approximately Severe in rock climbing standard if the crest of the ridge is followed throughout (deviations around these difficulties are possible if required). The total ascent/descent of a traverse is approximately 4000m!

Skye Munros
If you would like to visit the summit of each of the Cuillin Munros over a series of day hits this can be achieved over a 4 day period (5 if Bla Bheinn is included).
Perhaps you’ve already completed some of the Munros on Skye? Or you are happy to do some of the less technical ones without a guide? No problem! Just get in touch and let me know which ones you would like me to help you with and I can make a custom itinerary for you.
