Our UK rock climbing courses are based in the popular and accessible climbing areas of the Peak District, North Wales, Yorkshire and the Lake District. All experience levels are catered for including introductory rock climbing courses, multipitch leading and performance coaching. The majority of our courses run during the Spring (May - June) and Autumn (Sept - Oct) - ie either side of our main summer season in the Alps. If our advertised dates don't suit, we can also arrange bespoke courses from April - October in the location of your choice.
Rock Climbing Courses
PLEASE NOTE: Most of our rock climbing courses are booked on a tailor made basis, as per private guiding rates and conditions - ie you book a guide for the required number of days and we organise your own private training course.
Scheduled courses: a few courses, such as our alpine training weekend and scottish sea stacks tour are run to scheduled dates where single course places are available - please see individual course pages for information.

Hiring a Guide
When you hire a private guide you can go anywhere and do anything you want (subject to weather, conditions and experience!) This is the major advantage of booking your trip in this way and one we feel should be fully exploited. If you want recommendations for suitable climbs then we can easily suggest a program for you - or we can plan the trip together around your chosen objectives.
Guides Expenses
During the week you are responsible for meeting the guides expenses - ie if you wish to make use of the guides vehicle, then fuel costs must be covered. When climbing outside of the Peak District, Yorkshire, Lake District or North Wales you are also responsible for meeting the guides travel and accommodation expenses.
Important
Please remember, you need both the required fitness level and mountain experience level in order to enjoy a particular course - as our guides have to judge your abilities before embarking on any serious ascent (current weather and mountain conditions are also taken into account). If they decide that a particular objective should not be attempted, then a good alternative will always be offered. If your fitness or skills are in doubt however, we may have to exclude you from certain activities. It is very unusual for us to have to do this, but it can occur if you are not realistic about your current experience or fitness levels - or you do not prepare sufficiently for the trip.
