Cuillin Traverse

Perhaps the finest mountaineering journey in the UK, we certainly think so. With a thin and airy ridge running for over 10km and taking in eleven Munro summits with pitched climbing, superb scrambling and abseils this a big journey. The Cuillin Traverse is done over two full days with an overnight high mountain bivvy. The Cuillin traverse is a real highlight of Scottish Mountaineering. We offer a three day package to help ensure the best chances of success on a traverse journey. We offer optional Munro and Skye programs have a look here for other Cuillin Options.

Route : South to North

The Cuillin Ridge stretches over 12km taking in the 11 Munro summits along its crest. A mix of scrambling pitched climbing and abseils make up this superb journey. The ridge is a demanding journey taking two full days with an overnight bivvy on the ridge.

Camp : The Bivvy

The true meaning of a 'wild camp' this is a night on the ridge in sleeping bag and goretex bivvy. We make a good first day aiming to get plenty in before settling down to sleep and an early start to complete the traverse.
