The Torridon Munros involve some scrambling and exposed walking, which is not for everyone. There are a some route options. We will take routes that are suitable for the group.
Ideally, you will have already been on an adventure with NATS, which has involved some steep ground and exposure, so we will know if the routes are right for you.
If we have not met you before we recommend:
- booking a hike with NATS, so we can help you get ready for the Torridon Munros; contact Lee to discuss a suitable activity
- letting us know what scrambling routes you have done; and whether these were with a guide, and if ropes were used or not
