SKYE RIDGE TRAVERSE

The Ultimate Mountaineering Adventure in the UK

We believe the Skye Ridge offers one of the finest mountaineering journeys in the UK. Traversing the Black Cuillin Range on the Isle of Skye, this route takes you across eleven stunning Munro summits. It involves a mix of scrambling, climbing pitches, and abseils, all spread over a two-day journey, with a bivvy overnight high on the ridge.

Our Skye Ridge traverses are offered as a three-day package, giving us time for a short scramble day to familiarize ourselves with the ropes and ensure the traverse goes smoothly. This also allows flexibility in choosing the best two days for the traverse based on weather conditions. The ideal time to take on this challenge is from late April to mid-June, when the weather tends to be more stable and before the midge season begins. While we recommend the three-day package, we can also accommodate shorter itineraries if preferred.

We provide all the necessary equipment, including harnesses, helmets, and technical hardware. However, we do not supply sleeping equipment but are happy to assist with its organization. We will send a detailed kit list in advance and are always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
