Guided Ascent of the Inaccessible Pinnacle

1-Day Course | Cuillin Ridge, Isle of Skye

The Inaccessible Pinnacle — or In Pinn, as it’s famously known — is the most technical Munro in Scotland. Rising sharply from the shoulder of Sgùrr Dearg, it demands far more than a walk to reach its airy summit.

Climbing the In Pinn involves a 2–3 pitch rock climb up a narrow, 70-metre fin of rock, followed by an exhilarating abseil with jaw-dropping views down into the corries and out across the Atlantic.

This is the ultimate Munro-bagging challenge, and our experienced guides will make sure you reach the summit safely, confidently, and with a huge smile on your face.

Course Highlights:

  • 1:1 or 1:2 guiding for maximum safety and support

  • All technical equipment provided

  • Incredible exposure and unforgettable summit views

  • Suitable for confident hillwalkers with a head for heights — no climbing experience needed!

Let us know your preferred dates and we’ll get you booked in.
