Introduction
Skye's Black Cuillin are a Mecca for Mountain Scrambles. Nowhere else in the UK can offer such length, quality and variety of routes.

"On the Classic Cuillin Scrambles, high up on the corrie rock faces or out on the ridges and arêtes, there is an indefinable sense of freedom and a feeling of exhilaration that comes from moving among such magnificent mountains"
Ray MacKenzie

3-5 Day Courses
Classic Mountain Scrambles is perhaps the most adventurous of our Cuillin courses. Taking as our goal some of the high peaks and tops, we will guide you along the most interesting and sporting lines. Areas covered will include slab climbing, ridges / arêtes, and mixed routes with one or two abseils on such classic lines as:

Pinnacle ridge, Basteir Tooth, Sgurr an Fheadain and the peaks of Druim nan Ramh, Ghreadaidh to Mhadaidh, Inaccessible Pinnacle with the round of Corrie Lagan, the Cioch, Amphitheatre Arête, the Dubh Ridge,Clach Glas to Blaven traverse....

All courses in mountain scrambles can be tailored to individual needs and range from the beginner to the advanced scrambler. For more details or a personally-designed course, please inquire.

Introduction to Rock Climbing
Many clients who have been on the classic mountain scrambles course have progressed to the Cuillins multi-pitch classic climbs. The first day of this course is spent on the coastal cliffs getting to grips with those skills that will be put into practice during the week. Rope-work, belaying, setting up an abseil, gear placement and rescue procedure. On the second day we will tackle one of the Cuillins classic mountain routes, a combination of steep roped scrambling and abseiling. The third and consecutive days will see us on the classic routes on the south-east face of Blaven and the Lagan and Ghrunnda faces of Sron na Ciche. Routes will range from Difficult to Severe and be up to 1000ft.
