Sky In Pin and others. Excellent guides, sympathetic to our advancing years! Great knowledge of the routes, watched our physical condition (very hot weather), and provided great instruction when we climbed and abseiled. Three individual days. Will be back next year for more.

If Carslberg did Winter Mountaineering Courses. Attended the 4 day Winter Mountaineering Course December 2021. Dave Fowler was a great instructor and made the 4 day course not only really enjoyable but I took a lot away from it. He gave me numerous tips and advice for my upcoming Winter ML which was fantastic. Although the snow conditions were far from ideal, Dave and the company went above and beyond, and I left not only with... read moreAttended the 4 day Winter Mountaineering Course December 2021. Dave Fowler was a great instructor and made the 4 day course not only really enjoyable but I took a lot away from it. He gave me numerous tips and advice for my upcoming Winter ML which was fantastic. Although the snow conditions were far from ideal, Dave and the company went above and beyond, and I left not only with winter mountaineering skills but feeling comfortable using ropes and gear on grade 3 scrambling. I have worked in the outdoor industry for 7 years, and also run my own business, and I can certainly say that West Coast get it right and really know how to look after their clients and ensure they have a great experience. Just a little more snow next time please :-) read less

Fantastic Winter Adventure Ken @ WCMG was a fantastic skilled mountain guide, clearly knowing the mountain well, always offering information and great insights.
If you are looking for a winter scramble, the ledge route on Ben Nevis is a lot of fun. I’m sure the rest of the courses Ken and the company provides too are just as good.
I’d highly recommend and will probably be back at some point too!

Great day out on Inn Pinn Great day out with Dave on the Inn Pinn, with another summit thrown in too. Good communication and organisation from the start. Dave had an easy going and reassuring manner which made for an enjoyable experience. Would use WCMG again.

Skye's Cuillin Ridge Dave, our guide, was friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging. My wife and I had a fantastic couple of days with him scrambling on Skye’s Cuillin Ridge. It has opened up a whole new set of possibilities for us. We are already planning our next expedition with West Coast Mountain Guides.

Definitely recommend Brilliant time in skye with 2 west coast guides . Gained loads of experience and knowledge for our first time outdoor climbing

The Accessible Pinnacle We travelled to Sgorr Dearg as a party of eight which required two guides. Ken Applegate, and Dave (apologies Dave I never did get your 2nd name) were the two assigned to the task. They were informative and reassuring during the first half of the climb and scramble to the summit of the pinnacle. They kept the atmosphere lighthearted whilst making us aware that we were ultimately responsible for our... read moreWe travelled to Sgorr Dearg as a party of eight which required two guides. Ken Applegate, and Dave (apologies Dave I never did get your 2nd name) were the two assigned to the task. They were informative and reassuring during the first half of the climb and scramble to the summit of the pinnacle. They kept the atmosphere lighthearted whilst making us aware that we were ultimately responsible for our footing and decision making. When we reached the pinnacle they were swift in getting us up and down. We climbed as two groups of three and one group of two. The climb itself was challenging both physically and mentally but incredibly rewarding. Perhaps the most enjoyable part was being lowered down in a semi abseil style whilst the rest of our group jeered with mixture of excitement and relief. I cannot rate Ken, Dave and West Coast Mountain Guides more highly. read less

Unbelievable Ken and Dave were absolutely class, good vibes the whole time and got us up and down the Inn Pinn na bor. Would seriously recommend them as they had great advice and made the whole day a lot better! 10/10 Will definitely be using West Coast Mountain Guides again!!

Ascent of the In Pin Ken and Dave made the inaccessible pinnacle very accessible. Myself and my 7 friends all managed to summit the In Pin and had a great (and slightly terrifying) time doing so.
I'd highly recommend West Coast Mountain Guides to anyone considering an ascent of the In Pin. They were informative, entertaining and made the whole experience safe and enjoyable.

For the amount of satisfaction and thrill we received in summiting, I thought the £90pp was a reasonable price. Sign up with WCMG and climb the In Pin is what I'd say. read less

Great experience I would like to thank west coast mountain guides for a fantastic 4 days on skye even with the horrendous weather conditions.
Mark, Mike and Sam were great. They were very patient and friendly and there knowledge was 1st class. I definitely would not have managed without them.
Would also like to thank Sam and Mike who took time out of there free time to show 3 of us... read moreI would like to thank west coast mountain guides for a fantastic 4 days on skye even with the horrendous weather conditions.

From start to finish the organisation was first class , from the booking process to the last day back at the cars.

From start to finish the organisation was first class , from the booking process to the last day back at the cars.
The ratio is one guide to three people , to attempt all 12 peaks on the ridge in four days . The guides were reassuring , informative , knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful . This all combined with a fascinating adventure over very rough terrain , in sometimes challenging weather . Three out of the four days we completed the hill-walks , but the weather was just too bad on one of the days to safely get across the ridges .
The guides gradually build your confidence each day , showing you the correct hand holds & foot holds to achieve the scrambles to the top safely. On day 2 we climbed & abseiled The In Pinn , this was always going to be the highlight of the week & the guides saved this day for the best weather forecast.
Thanks to all involved organising the four days. read less
