Food and Accommodation
We run all of our courses on a guiding & instruction only basis. Food and accommodation must be paid for seperately. A range of recommended accommodation options wil be provided with your joining instructions.
 
Travel
Scotland can be reached most easily by a flight to Glasgow, Edinburgh or Inverness from the south of England. From further north, travelling by car or train is a good option.
 
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.
