About this event

  • Event lasts 9 hours

Professionally guided scrambles are the perfect opportunity to tick-off a route that you don't feel confident doing on your own! It's also a chance to seek advice from an expert and voice any questions you might have, so that you can your build mountain skills and grow your confidence on the move!

Aonach Eagach. This famous rocky ridge lies to the north of the A82 through Glen Coe. Boasting two Munro summits, the ridge is said to be narrowest on the UK mainland! The full ridge walk is only about 10km but can take all day on account of the grade-2 scrambling throughout its length. It is sublime ridge-traverse and an experience you’ll never forget - but it’s not one for the feint-hearted!

Let one of our experienced female guides (MCI qualified) take you on this fantastic journey, and keep you safe along the way - so that you can look up and enjoy the views!

If you're feeling fit, this is the perfect opportunity to complete a Swift Half round by extending your day to include the rest of the route (optional)!

*It is recommended that you have a good level of hill walking/running fitness and some scrambling experience before signing-up. Guide to client ratio 1:2. You will be required to wear a harness and helmet (provided).

**Please note that we will offer a guided ascent of nearby classic Curved Ridge on Buachaille Etive Mor (grade 3) in the event of weather that the guide feels is unsuitable for the Aonach Eagach. This is a shorter day which is easier to manage in wet or windy conditions. However, we will look to reschedule if the weather is unsuitable for scrambling. If the event is cancelled, you will be refunded in full.
