Sample Schedule
This is a typical itinerary but we will vary the programme to suit weather
conditions and your fitness. Because of the small 1:2 ratio we can be
entirely flexible to suit your needs.
| Day 1 |
Clach Glas, Blaven Traverse
A majestic day on the Matterhorn of Skye, fine weather allows for
commanding views across the Cuillin Ridge to take in our objective for
the week. |
| Day 2 |
Rock Climbing Skills Day
We will climb a classic multi-pitch rock climb and look at the skills
required to belay a lead climber, tie into belays and self protect
abseils in preparation for the ridge traverse. |
| Day 3 |
Gear Dump Day
A relatively easy day walking up to the main ridge to cache gear in
preparation for the traverse. |
| Day 4 |
The Ridge Traverse
An alpine start from Glen Brittle will see us on the ridge for
breakfast time. We will then head South to North to our gear stash and
an overnight bivvy on the ridge. |
| Day 5 |
The Ridge Traverse
Another early start and a another full day completing the traverse,
this time carrying our bivvy gear. If all goes to plan we will arrive
at the Sligachan Hotel before last orders! |
