Description

Come to Scotland’s stunningly beautiful Isle of Skye and take on the Inaccessible Pinnacle on Cuillin Ridge!

The 12 munros (mountains) of Cuillin Ridge are the toughest peaks to climb in all of the UK and on our 1-day ascent we will head up, perhaps, the most challenging one of all.

Inaccessible Pinnacle is the most iconic of these munros on Cuillin Ridge rising to 986 meters above sea level.

After meeting up first thing in the morning, we will make our approach to the base of the pinnacle, generally by scrambling along the West Ridge of Sgùrr Dearg, via a steep hike up Coire na Banachdich or a rock climbing approach from Coire Lagan.

Once we have arrived at the base of the pinnacle, we will climb up its east ridge, which allows us plenty of spots to stop and regroup in order to stay together as we climb.

After we’ve made it to the summit, we will take some time to enjoy the views (weather permitting) before making a steep but straightforward abseiling descent back down to the base.

Once we’re back down, the instructor will determine if there is enough time to perhaps tackle another nearby munro, such as Sgùrr na Banachdaich or Sgùrr MhicChoinnich. Otherwise, we will hike back down to the cars and head out.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for an incredibly exciting and challenging day of rock climbing to the peak of Inaccessible Pinnacle of the Isle of Skye’s Cuillin Ridge!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
