​Abacus Mountain Guides began life in 2000 in Fort William. With over twenty five years of experience, IFMGA Mountain Guide Mike Pescod and Abacus Mountain Guides provide world class mountain adventures on the west coast of Scotland.
​
World class adventures require world class instructors, so we only use the very best. All our hill walking, mountaineering and climbing instructors are fully qualified with UK or international qualifications, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very keen to share their passion with others!
​
Our priority is to create the perfect trip for you, and this is what gives us the most satisfaction. Most of our work is private guiding so let us know your goals and aspirations and we will do our best to make it happen.

We specialise in providing exactly what you want. If you can't find it here please get in touch and ask.

I go to the wild to be put in my place, to be battered and
embraced by wind, rain and sun;
I go to the wild to be reminded of what matters in this world;
I go to the wild to remember who I am;
I go to the wild to feel;
I go to the wild.
