| Scrambling
and Mountaineering Scotland is a land full of classic mountain adventures just waiting to be enjoyed. On their day (and we get plenty!) the likes of the Cairngorms, Ben Nevis, Glencoe, the Northwest Highlands and Skye aren’t just the best of British, but a match for anywhere on earth . Our knowledge of these areas is second to none, and on our courses you will experience some of the very best they have to offer. Whether you are interested in stepping up from hillwalking to ‘mountaineering’, or wish to work on specific skills in the context of a big mountain environment, we can help. Our Scottish Mountaineering courses usually last from one to five days, and are based in two key areas - Glencoe and Skye – though we are always free to travel to take advantage of the best conditions, or personal ambitions! |

Cuillin
Ridge Traverse We’ll takes two 12-14 hour days to complete this epic mountain journey, with an overnight bivouack planned high on the ridge. Travelling light, we’ll wear mountain boots to walk, scramble and rock climb up to Severe grade in places, with full roped protection where required. Although your experience on this classic traverse line will be fully guided, you’ll also get coached in mountaineering skills such as scrambling moves, abseiling, belaying, rope management and bivouacking. And there’s a big bonus. As the Cuillin
Traverse course is best done over five days (giving us the best
opportunity of a good weather window) we’ll also get the
chance to take in other classic routes like Pinnacle Ridge, Clach
Glas-Blaven Traverse and A’Cioch. |

In Glen Coe Glen Coe is one of the most famous locations in Britain, and rightly so. If Skye
is a bridge too far, and you’re looking for an adventurous alternative,
the mountains of the massive and brooding ‘glen of weeping’ won’t
let you down. The Coe’s amazing chains of granite monoliths tower to over
3,000ft on either side of the A82, and are home to some of the most popular and
challenging scramble routes in Britain: Curved Ridge, North Buttress, Aonach
Eagach….to name just a few. Given a dry forecast we also venture up the
road to Fort William and the mighty north face of Ben Nevis, to tackle the awesome
classic Tower Ridge - the longest route on the mountain, at the very top end
of the scrambling grades (and a bit beyond).‘ Scrambles in Glen Coe’ is ideal for those making the transition from hillwalking to serious scrambling, with instruction and coaching in route planning, scrambling technique, moving together, belaying, abseiling, route finding and interpretation, rope work and much more. Working in groups of two we aim, by the end of the week, to teach you the skills to you need to plan and climb a classic mountain scramble route under your own steam.
