Ability and Experience
As with most mountain activities, rock climbing can be hard work (see fitness level 1-3+). Depending on the proposed itinerary, we will advise you as to the necessary standard required and suggest any appropriate preparation. For those looking to climb at the higher grades in particular, the more visits you can make to your local climbing wall or crag the better!
 
Equipment
All ropes and lead climbing protection are supplied by ourselves. You are expected to bring along personal clothing and equipment. For the more specialist items including harness and helmet, hire is available if needed.
