Description

Earn the seldom-achieved bragging rights of traversing the Cuillin Ridge! I will show you the most exciting – and fun! – climb on the Isle of Skye and take you through three days of the most incredible rocky terrain in the United Kingdom!

The Cuillin Ridge is an infamous mountain range in Scotland, and is a perfect location for traversing and climbing adventures. The main ridge runs roughly 12 kilometers in length with rough peaks that make for a complex scrambling network.

There are 11 ¨Munros,¨ or mountains exceeding 914 meters, on Cuillin Ridge, all with accessible peaks to dedicated climbers.

Many trekkers try to reach the top of as many Munros as possible, so this traverse gives you the chance to cross off multiple summits while having the time of your life.

Our adventure allows for three days to make it through Cuillin, with route and trip variations depending on the circumstances of the trek. We will pick the best two days to complete the full traverse, with an overnight bivy on the ridge.

If we should traverse the ridge early, then one of the days will be a day of rest. If the weather is detrimental to our course, we will spend three full days out on the ridge.

This is a relatively difficult journey, with no guarantee that we will complete the route. You should have experience scrambling and be in good physical condition for the best chance of success.

We will err on the side of caution in compromising situations.

Book now and traverse with me through the daunting Cuillin Ridge – I will give you an experience unlike any other in the world!

I can also take you out on a 5-day traverse of the Cuillin Ridge! And I have a great program trekking up Ben Nevis!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
