Sunset Abseils
Abseiling in the evening light overlooking the islands of Eigg and Rum
NATS home base in Mallaig offers an idyllic setting overlooking Skye and the small isles for an evening of abseiling. Time it right for sunset over the islands for an experience you'll never forget!
| Number of people | Fee |
| 1-2 | £90 |
| 3-8 (maximum) | +£30 per person |
Our sunset abseil experience starts with a 30 minute walk over secluded beaches, a short section of rough heathland and onto a rocky outcrop with outstanding views of the surroundings, from the Isle of Skye to Ardnamurchan Point. We'll spend an hour or so learning to abseil, following which we can have more abseil practice or try some roped scrambling while we watch the sun go down. If necessary, we will provide head torches for the walk out.
Timings vary throughout the year based on sunset time. We are happy to time the outing to suit your evening meal plans. If weather and conditions (including midge) allow, a picnic at the abseil site is a great way to dine!
Rock Climbing
Outdoor climbing is a great way to connect with the environment and challenge yourself in many ways. I always feel amazing after a rock climbing session.
Climbing sessions can be indoors or outdoors, depending on what you want to achieve. We will always aim to show you how to belay and tie in independently. Indoor sessions are fast and physical, with colour coded routes sign-posting the way; while outdoor sessions are more about connecting with the environment and taking your time to figure out each climbing problem.
Notes on group size and instructor ratios:
- Maximum ratio 1:8, 1 instructor to 8 participants
- Recommended group size 1 to 4 people
- A smaller group of participants will have more time climbing per person
