SUMMER MOUNTAINEERING
April-October 2008
We operate in a wide and varied area in which to enjoy some superb mountaineering/ climbing/ Munro bagging.
Ranging from the Torridons in the north down through Kintail to Knoydart and over the sea to the Cuillin of Skye. We also offer great flexibility over what the weather dictates and what personal ambitions/ abilities are.
THE CUILLIN MUNROS
We aim to complete all the Munros on the main Cuillin ridge over the course of the 5 days.all aspec Where needed we’ll rope up for the trickier scrambling/climbing sections and abseil down the Innaccessible pinnacle.
When the mist comes down, that’s when route finding skills are most needed and every opportunity will be taken to ensure you become familiar with how to “sniff out” the right line on rocky mountainous terrain.
A great way to tick off all these Cuillin ridge Munros.
THE CUILLIN RIDGE TRAVERSE
The ultimate mountaineering challenge in Britain!...but you already knew that. It’s tough, unrelenting, mentally and physically exhausting... but what an experience!
We aim to do the traverse over 2 days with an overnight bivvi on the summits as part of a 5 day course which will allow us more chance of a weather window and time to fine tune our skills by technical ropework sessions, multi-pitch climbing and a ridge training day, so whenever we get the weather window, we’ll go for the traverse.
It can also be tackled on a private guiding basis for either a fast, lightweight one day attempt or the classic two day traverse with summit bivvi.
Good mountain fitness and a relaxed acceptance to the rigors of exposed scrambling make the attempt more enjoyable and success more attainable.
THE TORRIDONS
Enjoy the safety and security of a guided trip in some of the West coast's most dramatic and outstanding mountains.
We can complete a full traverse of Liathach over it's two munros and the Am Faserinen pinnacles, a trip into Beinn Eighe's Coire Mhic Fhearchair and climb on the famous Triple Buttress, or a day out on Beinn Alligin enjoying the easy scrambling over the Horns of Alligin and soaking up the superb views over the islands, lochs, mountains and sea.
GENERAL MOUNTAINEERING COURSE
We offer you a good solid grounding in all aspects of mountaineering and our classroom will be the wild lands of the North West Highlands.
We will be covering route finding, navigation, knots, ropework, climbing and abseiling to managing emergency situations and rescues.
Ideal for anyone with an interest in the hills who wants to increase their abilities, become safer and enjoy increasingly more exciting days out.
