Although the central focus of this six-day course is to ascend all twelve Munros on Skye, there will be an on-going theme aimed at providing the skills necessary for safe and enjoyable travel across all mountainous terrain. Topics such as route selection, navigation and non-technical rope-work will be covered during the course.

A typical itinerary is shown below - however there are many variations dependent on weather and fitness. All being well we climb the 12 Munros in 5 days so the 6th day gives us a reserve. Although previous mountain experience is preferred, it is not essential as all the Skye Munros are attainable by relatively fit and determined walkers - with a head for heights!

Day 1 - Sgurr a Mhadaidh, Sgurr a Ghreadaidh and Sgurr na Banachdich

Starting from the Youth Hostel in Glenbrittle. Moderately exposed scrambling: an introductory day, it involves moving together whilst roped and exposed ridge walking. Great views of Loch Coruisk.

Traverse of the northern section of the Cuillin ridge from Sligachan: involves some easy scrambling and moving together whilst roped....and an ascent of the West ridge of Gillean.

Day 3 - Sgurr nan Eag, Sgurr Dubh Mor and Sgurr Alasdair

Start from Glenbrittle beach, takes in the highest peak on Skye and some of the most spectacular glacial scenery in Britain. Descent of the Great Stone Shoot.

Day 4 - Sgurr Mhic Choinnich and Sgurr Dearg (Inaccessible Pinnacle)

Highlight of many a clients trip as the In Pinn will be climbed. Involves exposed ridge scrambling and abseiling.

Day 5 - Blaven Traverse (Clach Glas)

This awesome mountain affords many routes of ascent, and dependent on conditions (weather and fitness), a traverse of Clach Glas will be the main goal. Exposed scrambling with some easy rock climbing makes this a superb outing and finale to the course.

Day 6 - Reserve day or rock climbing option.
