This is a week long rock climbing trip and the idea is to spend each day climbing big multi pitch mountain routes from V Diff to Very Severe, or perhaps harder if you fancy it. We will also look at spending a day on the sea cliffs and bad weather days can be spent doing some of the classic scrambles on the Cuillin Ridge.

Routes that we could do include several up onto the Cioch, Integrity (my favourite Hard Severe in the World!) Shangri La VS4c, Spantastic at Flodigarry, Rib of Doom on Sron na Ciche, The Inaccessible Pinnacle and many, many more.

We recommend the Sligachan Hotel which has comfortable bunkhouse accommodation with open fire and self catering accommodation for £10 per night or Bed and Breakfast in the Hotel itself. The hotel is famous for its range of over 65 malt whiskies! More details can be found at www.sligachan.co.uk or you can call them on 01478 650204. 

A History of Mountaineering on Skye
The formation of the Cuillin started 70 million years ago with a series of volcanic eruptions. The prevalent rock is Gabbro, a rough volcanic rock that destroys finger tips and provides fantastic friction for climbers boots. Also present was Basalt which weathers more easily and is more fragile than the Gabbro. The Basalt is easy to spot as it often forms in columns and staircases, it will be slippy when wet and tends not to provide good belays. Read More

Dates
We have found through personal experience that May, June and September are the best months to visit Skye as the midges tend not to be out and the days tend to be drier than the summer months. Visit the diary page for forthcoming trips.
