ROCK CLIMBING

There can be no better place than the Cuillin Hills on the island Skye in which to taste the exhilaration of rock climbing.  Since 1865 when WC Coolidge compared the Black Cuillin “worthy of comparison with the finest alpine ridges”, rock climbers have flocked to the Isle of Skye with its challenging climbs on rough gabbro rock. We choose the best venues to give the best range of climbing in the area meaning that adding this option to your corporate event will mean excitement for all participants. In the hands of your experienced instructor you can savour this thoughtful and gymnastic sport and understand why this island is such a draw for it.

There are no seasonal restrictions on this option but the best experiences will be had during spring, summer or autumn when the splendour of Skye can be fully appreciated and participants can stay warm. In winter months it may be possible to sample the full Scottish winter experience. When the snow falls and the clear winter nights lead to  fine days it will be possible to sample the pleasure of Scottish winter mountaineering but this should only be chosen by the robust among your team. It will require considerable effort but will provide memorable returns, as is usual with all Exclusively Skye corporate events. We also hand pick our mountain guides, using only experienced, reputable and professionally qualified rock climbing instructors. Martin Welch is one of our team of professional rock climbing instructors on Skye.

You will not only learn from them the special history of rock climbing in Scotland and why the devotees from all over Europe flock there to sample it, but also discover a history rich in anecdotes and humour making this a truly memorable option.
