Two climbers ascending a large granite rock formation, with one near the bottom and the other higher up, connected by an orange rope, in a mountainous landscape under a partly cloudy sky.

Guided Ascent of the Inaccessible Pinnacle

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 incredible 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 have a safe day, and keep a huge smile on your face.
