Course Overview

Start exploring the wild British mountains.  Join us on a 2 or 4 day Mountain Skills course and gain the skills and confidence to safely enjoy big days out in the mountains.  

Most of your time will be spent out in the mountains with our experienced mountaineering instructors.  We’ll start with the very basics of navigation and and gradually introduce new topics.  We won’t cover lots of distance, instead we’ll focus on developing your mountain skills.

No previous experience is required but you should have a reasonable level of fitness.
