Ascent of the In Pinn on Skye Island

Climb the top of In Pinn, the Inaccessible Pinnacle, in this 1-day guided ascent in the Cuillin Ridge in Scotland! It’s the the highest point of the Sgurr Dear and an exceptional challenge for Munro baggers. With its narrow crest and airy summit, it's certainly not an experience that you want to miss out on!

This rock climb is graded ‘moderate’ and suitable for a fit hillwalker with little scrambling experience. But the In Pinn is exposed and potentially dangerous except in windless and dry conditions. So you should have a good head for heights, and, most important, you should trust me!

I am an experienced guide and I have the knowledge to make the safest decisions for you to take this summit. I’ll teach you the technical skills you need to reach the top of the In Pinn. Besides, I will be in charge of all the ropework in ascent and descent. I'll make sure you enjoy this great experience.

I’ll guide you in the ascent via the narrow East Ridge of the In Pinn. It’s the most popular route, the longer but less steep. It also has large hand and foot holds. If you have more climbing experience you can also choose a harder climbing route.

We'll be out in the hill between 6 and 9 hours. And once we reach the summit, a short abseil will take us back to the ground.

I can take groups of up to 4 people. But it you are more than 2, I will guide 2 people roped up to the In Pinn, to then return and ascend with the remaining 2.

So, if you're ready for an exciting ascent of the In Pinn's sheer flanks, join me on this 1-day program! Please contact me if you have any questions. Also, if you're looking for an introductory mountaineering course in Scotland, check my 5-day program.
