Classic ice climbs

Select routes like Tower Ridge and Point 5 gully on Ben Nevis. We love the Wand on Creag Meagaidh, or Quartzvein scoop at Beinn Udlaidh Or perhaps your taste is a little more ephemeral.

Client Testimonial

What can I say! Connor answered an SOS after we were let down by someone else. From the off, the communications were first class- prompt replies, very helpful responses and useful information prior to our holiday. We had Josh, James and Connor himself and we were able to climb, explore and abseil 6 of the Skye Cuillins. The team were very knowledgeable, skilled and professional and we felt safe 100% of the time. We will definitely be booking with Connor again and would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to explore Skye.
