Need your help Cuillin Traverse within the next days

Hello together,

I planned to do the Cuillin Traverse and booked a guide months ago.
He first postponed the tour and now had an accident and he will not be able to guide me. And as the shortage of time I am not able to get a replacement.
I have done 75 Munros already on my own and wanted to do the Traverse this holiday, to tick off the Cuillins as well. But I need someone experienced especially for the Pinnacle (with climbing gear).
I am staying at Skye at the moment and could come back during next week.

Can someone help me or knows someone who might help?
Just give me a call or a text message at +44 7482377931

Thank you very much in advance, I am really desperate at the moment.

I've done summer and winter mountain training with Mike Laing of Snowdonia Climbing, who has been doing guiding for ages in the Cuillins. I did the Cuillin Ridge solo, so I haven't been with him on this route, but from the experience I had with him, I can highly recommend him. I've also spoken to some of his Cullin clients, and they were also very happy with him. He might be free. You can get contact details on the internet.

We had Paddy McGuire for some of the Cuillin,,knows ever rock on them.

You could also try http://skyeguides.co.uk/,,,,they certainly have an obvious presence on the island and may be able to assist at short notice.

Best of luck
