Do you aspire to complete the Cuillin Ridge Traverse on the Isle of Skye?
This iconic route is one of the most challenging in the UK. From the summit of Gars-bheinn to Sgurr Nan Gillean it is a total of 12km of almost continuous scrambling including up to Severe climbing, abseils and plenty of Grade 3 scrambling.
There is nothing else like it in the UK. In light of this, I’m very careful who I allow to book on my Cuillin Ridge Traverses which I do every May. This is because it is a big undertaking and I want you to have a great time and succeed.
I generally say that to be successful on the ridge people need to have either, Skye scrambling experience (these people will understand what it means to take on a ridge traverse), have climbed alpine routes, or have done specific training in the UK: hence this two day course.
On this course we’ll link grade 2 and 3 scrambling to attempt to replicate the length of the scrambles. The skills we’ll cover include
Tying into a harness
Scrambling and climbing ropework
Abseiling
Downclimbing
Answering lots of questions about the Cuillin Ridge, tactics, bivi kit and much more
