MOUNTAIN SKILLS

2 days | 1:6 max | £125pp | £360 bespoke

We'll cover a wide range of skills including route planning, navigation, weather, emergencies procedures, environmental considerations kit, equipment and gentle scrambing. By the end of this course you should have all the skills required to undertake your own mountain adventures!

MASTER THE MAP

GET CONFIDENT WITH CONTOURS

1 day | 1:4 max | £75pp | £180 bespoke

Contour lines hold an incredible story. With a good understanding of contour lines we can create a picture of the landscape before we even get boots on the ground. We'll spend the day looking at contour lines and shapes in the ground and very little else as we navigate across the landscape, learning the tricks of the trade as we go.

1 day | 1:6 max | £60pp | £180 bespoke

Always wondered what some of the lines and symbols on the map mean? Or perhaps you want to brush up on the art of compass-work. We'll spend a day concentrating on the details so you'll be able to glean more information than you ever thought possible so you can roam deeper into remote areas.

ROPED SCRAMBLING

2 days | 1:2 max | £180pp | £360 bespoke

If you've always wanted to take your scrambing to the next level, and go places where the added safety of a rope is comfornting, this is the course for you. We'll look at ways you can safeguard, both yourslf and your partner quickly and effectively with minimal equipment.

ROCK CLIMBING (intro)

INDOOR TO OUT

2 days | 1:4 max | £140pp | £400 bespoke

You've got the skills from the climbing wall, and now you're keen to transfer those skills to real rock to get some experience of climbing in the great outdoors. By the end of these two days, you'll have all the skills required to get you started on your outdoor climbing journey.

1 day | 1:6 max | £50pp | £180 bespoke

We'll start from the very beginning and teach you the basics of rock climbing. You don't need any prior experience, or any technical equipment. This is perfect for anyone looking for a taster day of climbing, either for yourself, friends, or family!

ROCK CLIMBING (intermediate)

2 days | 1:4 max | £140pp | £400 bespoke

Similar to the INDOOR TO OUT course, but aimed more at those with some experience of climbing on real rock (the INTRO course above, for example). We'll look at some equipment and give you some skills, so that you can walk away knowing you've got a lifetime of climbing adventures ahead of you!

LEARN TO LEAD

ROCK CLIMBING DEVELOPMENT

5 days | 1:2 max | £475pp | £950 bespoke

This course is ideal for those looking to become a better climber all round. We spend day 1 getting to know exactly where you're at and what you'd like to improve, as well as cementing some foundations in place. We can then use the remaining 4 days to choose venues and routes which really suit the kind of development you're after!

2 days | 1:2 max | £210pp | £420 bespoke

You're pretty familiar with outdoor climbing now (or perhaps competently leading indoors?), and you're ready to take the next step into the world of lead climbing? Over the course of two days we'll learn how we can make sure we're looking after ourselves, as well as our belayer as we move on up the climbing ladder.

IMPROVISED RESCUE SKILLS

2 days | 1:2 max | £210pp | £420 bespoke

You've climbed some pretty wild routes by now in some committing places, but you've realised you'd be in a spot of bother if something were to go a little downhill? Come and join me for a couple of days and we'll work through a whole host of scenarios, and work out how we can solve problems on the crag, whether that be just a simple hoist past the crux move, or a full scale evacuation!
