I'm often asked the question "why do you climb?" and its never an easy one to answer. For me its a combination of hanging out on big cliffs in beautiful places, feeling the air beneath my feet and the texture of the rock on my finger tips, that joy of mastering both body and mind in a dangerous situation and the incredible involvement that arises from attempting to unlock that crux sequence.

"Thank you again for an excellent two day course. We found your instruction very clear to follow, we always felt very safe and we are very grateful that you made use of every minute so that we could lead a climb by the end of day two.."

Classic Routes Guided Day: For those of you have done a little climbing before and want to get out and climb those classic routes that are on your tick list. I can suggest routes that will fit your expectations and experience. For example I could give you your first sea cliff climbing experience with Lighthouse Arete at Gogarth or a multi pitch adventure in the mountains with Grooved Arete.
