We specialise in offering courses for queer climbers and mountaineers. You do not have to be LGBTQ+ to join in one of our courses but you should abide by our ethos of supporting and welcoming all to the mountains. We have a long history of creating a safe space for LGBTQ+ participants and this is very important to us.
All our guides are non-discriminatory and support our ethos of equality and creating a safe space for queer climbers, walkers and mountaineers.
