west coast scrambles
The West Coast of Scotland holds so much potential for scrambling, below is just a sample of what's achievable. Please enquire to discuss options and your aspirations.
Ledge Route
An excellent introduction into the world of scrambling surrounded by magnificent scenery on Ben Nevis. What a way to climb Britain's highest summit!
Aonach Eagach
'Glencoe's Aonach Eagach ridge is the most legendary grade 2 scramble in Scotland' as claimed by the BMC. We would go so far as to say it's the most legendary grade 2 scramble in the UK. There are few ridges as long, committing and awe inspiring as the Aonach Eagach on the British mainland. And it leads to the Clachaig Inn. A true classic!
