Aonach Eagach Guided Traverse

Join us for our guided Aonach Eagach ridge traverse, one of the most sought after ridges in Scotland, and rightly so, with its sharp pinnacles, knife edge traverses and steep drops making this a committing outing. It requires sound judgement, skill and a cool head to safely negotiate this unforgettable day in the Scottish mountains. A favourite of so many with plenty of tales told over a refreshing drink at the Clachaig Inn.<br />Traverse the most famous ridge in main land Scotland<br />✓<br />Coaching with movement to become more confident on scrambling terrain<br />✓<br />Breathtaking views across Glen Coe<br />✓<br />Have a relaxing refreshment in the famous Clachaig InnItineraryAonach Eagach, Glen Coe<br />We plan to meet at the Clachaig Inn for 8.30am, check kit and drive to the east side of the glen. We then start our adventure up the east end of the ridge towards Am Bodach. Once 'the up' is done we get kitted up and pass the Chancellors seat before getting into the exciting stuff; the first exposed down climb. We then continue along the broad ridge towards Meall Dearg; before we start tackling the iconic pinnacles, this is where the heart begins to pound! After negotiating the exciting stuff, you get a chance to get your breath back!<br />We also have the option to take in the second Munro of Sgorr nam Fiannaaidh if people wish.
