and Mountaineering. Professional Training and Guiding with Pure Outdoor.
Course Type: Guiding/Instruction
Pre Requisites: Hillwalking and Scrambling Experience.
Location: The Black Cuillin, Isle of Skye.
The Route : Claimed to be the most famous mountaineering expedition in Great Britain. With over 3000m of ascent spread along 10km of spectacular mountain scenery, this fabulous trip is high on the tick list of climbers and adventurous walkers alike. Fourteen Munros are packed into its length with the Inaccessible Pinnacle being the toughest of all the Scottish Munros. The changeable nature of the weather adds to the difficulties and good planning and speed are essential in order to ensure success.
Summary: The Cuillin is a magical place. The scale and rugged nature of the mountains here give the climber a feeling of a great journey of alpine scale. Here the terrain is fantastic. With these Cuillin hills there are often no easy ways to the top with lots of scrambling and adventure in ascent and descent. The weather is quite fickle and requires sound judgement. During a week scrambling/climbing trip to the Isle of Skye, we will be focusing on completing the Cuillin Ridge Traverse. Sometimes, poor weather may prevent us from completing it at first, but there are heaps of amazing routes on and around the ridge to occupy us for the week. We will be basing ourselves from a local climbing hut to be best located for the mountains.
Itineraries: Days out include: The Inaccessible Pinnacle, Pinnacle Ridge (5 Pinnacles) of Sgurr nan Gillean, Cuillin Ridge Traverse, The Dubh Slabs, Window Buttress and much more. All of these days can be tailored to your needs. We could even access some of these by boat!
Prices: 5 Days at Standard rate plus contribution to fuel. A 5 day Scrambling Holiday on Skye including basic accommodation would be within the region of £545 per person (2 Maximum).
