challenge note:

The Ring of Steall is a demanding mountain challenge combining significant ascent, multiple Munro summits, exposed ridgelines and sections of scrambling across a sustained day in the Mamores. It tests physical fitness, confidence on technical terrain and the ability to maintain concentration and movement over a long mountain day.

This trip is not suitable for complete beginners. Previous mountain walking experience and a good level of fitness are strongly recommended. Participants should also be prepared for exposure, steep terrain and hands-on scrambling during sections of the route.

  • Ring of Steall is aimed at adventurers with good mountain fitness and some previous hillwalking experience who are ready to progress onto a longer and more technically demanding mountain day.

    You'll need to be comfortable with a sustained day on the mountain and prepared for steep ground, scrambling, exposed ridges and significant ascent and descent.

    You don't need to be an expert mountaineer — that's why you're joining EA — but this isn't intended as a first mountain walk.

  • The adventure follows the Ring of Steall in the Mamores, creating a challenging mountain circuit incorporating four Munro summits and the connecting ridgelines between them.

    Rather than locking the day into an exact minute-by-minute route, your guide will continually assess weather, mountain conditions and the progress of the group.

    Alternative plans or adjustments may be made where conditions require them.

  • May in the Scottish Highlands can bring a huge range of conditions, and weather can change rapidly at elevation.

    Participants should arrive prepared for cold temperatures, wind, rain and reduced visibility, even if conditions at valley level appear settled. Appropriate layers, waterproofs and suitable mountain footwear will be essential.

  • The Ring of Steall includes exposed ridgelines and scrambling, making weather and underfoot conditions particularly important.

    All EA trips are led by qualified and experienced guides carrying appropriate group safety equipment. The guide will continually assess conditions and group progress throughout the experience.

    The planned route, individual sections or overall objective may be changed where the guide determines that conditions make this necessary.

    Safety takes priority over completing the full route.
