What to expect
Expect sustained scrambling across exposed rock with significant exposure and drops. The ascent demands rock climbing skills beyond basic hillwalking—think handholds, rope work, and genuine mountain hazard management. Weather on Skye changes rapidly; conditions can shift from clear to clag within hours, affecting visibility and rock grip. The descent mirrors the climb's technical demands. This isn't a guided walk; it's an active climbing lesson where you'll work hard and concentrate hard.
