CUILLIN RIDGE GUIDES

SKYE CUILLIN RIDGE

The Isle of Skye is the largest island of the Inner Hebrides; it is situated off the West coast of Scotland and accessed via the Skye bridge at the Kyle of Lochalsh. The centre of the island is dominated by the Skye Cuillin Ridge which provides some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the UK.

It is this mountain range that attracts mountaineers far and wide, many of which arrive with high hopes of summiting the twelve Munros the island hosts. Eleven of these are on the main Cuillin Ridge with just Blabheinn sitting slightly further afield.

Whether you aspire to climb the Inaccessible Pinnacle, experience a Cuillin Ridge Traverse or climb Skye Munros Synergy Guides would love to help you out. A good level of fitness will allow you to enjoy the endless amount of scrambling and rock climbing that Skye has to offer.

DARE TO EXPERIENCE ADVENTURE

Inaccessible Pinnacle

The eleven Munros on the Skye Cuillin Ridge are among the most challenging mountains the UK has to offer. Not only do they require technical skills to reach their summits but navigating through this tricky and sometimes hazardous terrain takes patience, experience and without prior knowledge; visibility.

Arguably the most iconic landmark on the Cuillin Ridge is the Inaccessible Pinnacle. The idea of climbing this impressive feature should be on the mind of every mountaineer who visits the island. Accompanied by one of our friendly guides; it can be a lot of fun!

Excellent couple of days on the Cuillin, highly recommend Synergy Guides and Steve. Great knowledge and interesting routes, giving me a good challenge. Achieved one of my goals of climbing the Inn Pinn. Thanks Steve.

I did my first ever scramble with Steve last week, across the Aonach Eagach ridge, and it was an amazing experience. I was quite apprehensive, mainly because I didn't know what to expect, but Steve put me at ease throughout the hike and gave me confidence in my own skill. He gave me clear instructions and explained why we were doing what we were doing as well. I felt like I was in good hands all the way and that I could 100% trust Steve's skill and experience. He's also really easy to talk to (which is a good thing when you're spending 8 hours together) and has lots of good recommendations and a wealth of knowledge; and despite his being far more experienced and fitter than me, it didn't feel like it was a big deal, in fact I'm grateful for the challenge. I highly recommend Synergy Guides and am already thinking about the next scrambling/mountaineering challenge I can get roped into 🙂

Zero regrets in booking with Steve for a day on Skye and the Inaccessible Pinnacle! Communication was great from the initial enquiry email and all arrangements were clear. Really great day out, lots of interesting knowledge from Steve along the way and a successful climb and abseil of the pinnacle. Would not hesitate to book with Synergy Guides again!

Just had the best two days completing the Skye ridge traverse with Steve! Could not recommend Steve and Synergy Guides enough. Not only was Steve great company, he was extremely knowledgeable and encouraging! He really takes into consideration his clients as he chose a route he thought would be exciting for us and kept us up to date on weather / conditions / plans beforehand! We will absolutely be completing other hikes / climbs with Synergy Guides going forward!

This was my first time using a mountain guide and what a fantastic and unforgettable experience it was! Synergy Guides listened carefully to what I hoped to achieve during my time on Skye and Steve used his fantastic mountaineering and meteorological expertise, plus his extensive and detailed knowledge of The Ridge, to work out a way in which it could happen safely during the less than favourable weather conditions of two ‘summer days’ on the misty isle. I felt safe and secure throughout but the highest compliment I can pay is that despite the gulf in experience between us, it never once felt like anything other than a fun couple of days out in the mountains with a mate and that we were a team exploring together. I would 100% recommend Steve and Synergy Guides to help you make the most of your time in the mountains and I look forward to further adventures in the future.

My partner and I were guided up Buachaille Etive Mor in Glencoe by Andy and we honestly could not have had a better guided experience. Andy was super knowledgeable, a really friendly and interesting guy, we felt well looked after, and most importantly we had an awesome unforgettable adventure. Will definitely be booking with Synergy Guides again 👍

My best day on the hills. I used Steve to help guide me across skyes cuillin ridge on a single day traverse. What to say, well for starters Steve his highly accommodating in regards to finding a date and time that works for you, as the date approaches he keeps you informed of how the weather is looking and provides numerous different options for you to get the best experience out of the days you have available and the weather situation. While on the hills itself I felt totally safe at all times but it was also good that he encouraged me to push my comfort levels and complete certain parts of the route I never thought I'd be capable of even though this would make his day longer it didn't seem to matter and he was happy to just make sure you got the best experience possible. This just added to the sense of accomplishment. His knowledge of the cuillin ridge is superb, whether it be how the mountains are formed, where to find water or what rocks to trust and what ones to avoid. I would definitely use Steve again and if you want a safe and exciting day on the ridge I cant recommend him enough.

What an absolutely brilliant experience climbing the Inn Pinn. Steve was a tremendous guide and you could tell right away a complete professional. From the communication and organization before hand to the safety and practical side of the climb itself I always felt safe and confident. As well as his climbing experience Steve also has a wealth of knowledge about the Cuillins and Skye itself advising on other walks and climbs. It's not just his experience that is so good he is just a really nice guy. If you are looking for a guide give Steve a message. I hope to return for some more Cuillin adventures with Steve in the future.

Synergy Guides are outstanding. I’ve used them twice now and they’re really professional, friendly and excellent guides. Andy and Steve in particular are superb. They go at your pace, make sure you’re doing ok with the technical aspects of climbing and give constant reassurance and encouragement. My recent complete Cuillin ridge traverse was a success because of these guys. I strongly recommend using them. Thanks guys for the great adventure!

Steve is an exceptionally knowledgeable guide. He knows every inch of the Cuillins and that gave me great reassurance. He takes safety extremely seriously so you never feel at risk, and yet has an easy calm manner and always puts his clients interests first. I would highly recommend him.

Steve was the perfect guide for us. He was efficient before our Cuillin ridge traverse, professional and his technical ability meant we were able to move with no fuss but completely safely. He was a good companion, good to spend time with but also interersted in us. I would genuinely reccomend him to anyone.

Hi Steve, Hope all is well! Just a quick email to say thanks so much for setting up my B.Nevis birthday ascent yesterday! Iain is a superb guide - very relaxed, knowledgeable & of course with great experience too! I’d have never been able to do Ledge Route without such a guide! Many thanks again🙏 Matt.

Cuillin Ridge Traverse

No other ridge in the United Kingdom offers more exposed and continuous scrambling than the Skye Cuillin Ridge. Stretching over 12km in length and demanding 3500m+ of ascent, it deserves a title as one of the best Alpine ridgelines in Europe. Linking all the summits along its jaggy crest in one push should not be underestimated; the rock is loose and incredibly exposed in places but in the company of our experienced Cuillin Ridge Guide we will help guide you through its intricacies and experience the best scrambling the Skye has to offer.
