Skye Ridge Courses
Coaching & courses > Skye Ridge Courses
Mountaineering encompasses walking, scrambling and climbing, all of which are required to take on the Black Cuillin of Skye. This is the most rugged and extensive high mountain ridge in the British Isles which, once experienced will never be forgotten. If you are fit enough to complete an 8-hour hill day this is an adventure not to be missed.
The Black Cuillin of Skye is the most challenging and rewarding of all British mountain ranges comprising 12 Munros (mountains over 3000 feet) on the ridge. Making it to the top of many of these requires spectacular scrambling but the jewel in the crown for outdoor enthusiasts has to be the Inaccessible Pinnacle. This spectacular summit is the only mountain in the UK which requires an abseil to descend.
Our instructors can guide you around this dramatic scenery with black, rocky and imposing peaks featuring over 4000 metres (13,000 feet) of ascent. Courses are tailored to the individual and may include a complete traverse of the Skye Ridge guided ascents of the Cuillin Munro’s and guided ascents of the classic rock climbs of the Cuillin.
