Guided Adventures in the Scottish Highlands and Beyond
At Atlas Mountaineering, we provide guided mountain adventures with a focus on rock climbing, scrambling, and hillwalking. Whether you want to try climbing for the first time, complete the Cuillin Traverse or plan an expedition to a far-away mountain range (think Kyrgyzstan, Morocco or Peru), Atlas Mountaineering has something for you! We offer both private guided days and group trips tailored to your goals.
A Message From Connor – Founder & Mountaineering Instructor
​
Hi, I'm Connor. I was born in Bradford but have spent most of my adult life climbing and guiding in bonnie Scotland. It’s such a beautiful place to live and work, and I wouldn’t trade what I do for the world.
Since a young age, I have always been outdoorsy, so it only seemed natural that I would become a full-time mountaineering instructor after I graduated from university.
Since starting Atlas Mountaineering in 2012, I have helped thousands of people experience the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands. I absolutely love helping people experience the outdoors in a unique way, and see them grow their skills and confidence.
Outside of work, I am a keen climber and love going on big adventures. Recently, I have spent time climbing in Nepal, the Alps, and I frequently go to Morocco in the High Atlas mountains (hence the company name).
