We are a diverse and welcoming community of people with a passion for the outdoors and adventurous pursuits.
We provide fantastic opportunities to both experienced and novice mountaineers of all backgrounds, to test their abilities and engage with our lively social scene.
We regularly climb indoors at our local climbing centres, run trips to many UK national parks and meet up weekly for socials.
We are welcoming to anyone who wants to try mountaineering. We can help beginners quite literally learn the ropes and allow more experienced mountaineers to develop their skills in a safe and supportive environment.
Please don’t be put off if you’ve never tried climbing, hiking, or scrambling before, We have equipment that we’re happy to lend and the experience to guide you safely through situations designed to test your abilities.
We’ve all been there, give us a shout maybe you’ll like us :) .
