**The Aonach Eagach in Glencoe, Scotland, is famed for being a demanding ridge which many attempts to scramble each year.** Set in the stunning Scottish Highlands, the challenge of climbing it is well worth the effort! **On this guided traverse of the Aonach Eagach, I will give you the guidelines and assistance needed for you to be able to take on this beautiful Scottish ridge.** 

Our excursion day usually begins at 8 am at Clachaig Inn where we prepare equipment and go over the day’s itinerary. Then we set off for a day or hiking, climbing and scrambling that lasts between **6 to 9 hours**.

Our first stretch involves a steep walk to the South East Spur of Am Bodach. From there we get a broad picture of the full ridge and stunning views of Loch Leven and  Ballachulish Bridge. After, we descend a challenging steep chimney which leads us to the summit of our first Munro- Meall Dearg. From there, our target will be getting to the second Munro, Sgorr nam Fiannaidh. Between the two is where the fun begins. We will have to scramble up short chimneys, along breathtaking arêtes and around the eye-catching ‘Crazy Pinnacles’ until we get to the top at last. Finally, we will have to descend the Aenoch Eagach which is the most intimidating part of the trip. It is also the most exhilarating and we will be there to help every step of the way!

Because this is a challenging one day traverse, it is best if you have a **good fitness level**. However, we have designed this trip for people with or without experience. **Throughout the day we will teach you all the techniques you need to scramble this stunning ridge.** Additionally, we will assist you at all times with ropework, so that it is a challenging but also very enjoyable excursion!
