Climbing

For some people the dream may be to climb Mount Everest, However, there is many other less challenging climbs in the UK you may like to start off with.

The sense of achievement when you have reached the summit is second to none and mountaineering is a fun and rewarding activity.

  • Take necessary equipment (check out equipment section)
  • Dress for the conditions
  • Prepare physically
  • Prepare mentally
