Gaelic for “the notched ridge”, the Aonach Eagach is Scotland’s most legendary grade II scramble which traverses high above the Glencoe valley. Famed as the narrowest ridge on mainland Britain, it links up two munros, and provides several spectacular sections of scrambling. The whole day is about 10km long, and when the weather is clear, the views are absolutely stunning.

Tower Ridge Scramble, Ben Nevis

Ben Nevis is well known as the highest mountain in the UK, but it’s incredible North Face is a better kept secret! Tower Ridge is one of Scotland’s most prized mountaineering routes. It is included in the book “Classic Rock” which is a collection of the UK’s “best” rock climbs. Tower Ridge provides 600m of impressive scrambling, culminating in the notorious “Tower Gap” just before the summit. The approach takes about 2.5 hours, followed by about 3 hours of scrambling. We have several options for descent, including “Ledge Route”, the tourist track, or completing a loop around the Carn Mor Dearg (CMD) arete.
