Previous multi-pitch rock climbing experience required, seconding at HVS, with good crack climbing technique. To take part you should be at Fitness Level 2 and Tech Level 4 (see our Fitness/Experience guidelines). Or, if you are a ready made team of 2 people and would like to choose your own course dates, please get in touch and we do our best to help. You can book one of the advertised course dates as an individual, and we will team you up with another climber of similar standard. Grades are in the range VS to E1, depending on the venue and fitness. The itinerary described below is a typical plan for the trip, but we regularly vary itineraries and objectives to suit your ambitions and the weather. Fully qualified IFMGA British Mountain Guide.

Afterwards, we’ll send you plenty of great photos and video of your trip to share with family and friends.

Other venues we have visited on previous trips include the Old Man of Stoer, the Caithness sea cliffs, the wonderful Sheigra sea cliffs including a wild camp by the beach, long mountain routes on Stac Pollaidh and the famous sea cliffs at Reiff.Īny items of specialist climbing equipment that you need are also included (eg helmet, harness, rock climbing shoes etc). We aim to climb the Old Man of Hoy first, followed by whatever else suits the team, the weather and tides.
