Our Guiding Services

Our small team are devoted to introducing you to the finest 3-star mountaineering routes Scotland has to offer. Our commitment to your safety and success is unwavering, and we're always eager to explore your unique objectives, whether they lead us to the Highlands, Islands, or any other region in Scotland.

Imagine mountains soaring directly from the sea, their ancient rock facades adorned with graceful sweeping crests and formidable snow-filled gullies. In the West Highlands, you'll find intricate networks of narrow aretes, while in Lochnagar, grand amphitheaters conceal hidden clefts. All these treasures await your exploration in the Scottish Highlands.

EverydayClimbing's mission is to celebrate and share the riches and diversity of the Scottish mountains, as well as the awe-inspiring scenery, rich history, vast open spaces, clean fresh air, and the potential for solitude.

We offer instruction and guiding on all of Scotland's iconic and winter mountaineering routes, ranging from the easy and accessible to the incredibly challenging and remote.
