Rock Climbing

Guiding on Classic Routes
Agags Groove, Ardverikie Wall, The Cioch Nose,
Eagle Ridge,Spartan Slab, Squareface, Integrity,
Centurion, Clean Sweep, January Jigsaw,
Talisman, SE Ridge of Cir Mhor, The Old Man of
Stoer. This is a list of only some of the classic rock
climbs in Scotland. I can travel to guide you on
that route you have heard of or dreamt about but
don't feel up to trying on your own.

Take a look at My Climbs for some ideas to whet
your appetite and remember I'm quite happy to
travel to different areas of Scotland and the Lake
District too.

Contact me to discuss your plans.

Guiding and Instruction
If you and a group of friends or family want to come and take your first steps
on outdoor rock we can visit a single pitch crag to give it a try for a day or
half day.

For multi-pitch climbs or more in depth instruction I work with a maximum of 2
clients at a time.

Skills to look at include:
-Equipment choice
-Route choice and Guidebook interpretation
-Movement on the rock
-Belaying for the leader and second
-Placing and removing gear
-Belay construction
-Retreat from a route
Popular courses include those based around:
-Inside out. An introduction to outdoor rock for
indoor climbers
-An Introduction to lead climbing
-An Introduction to multi-pitch climbing
-Pushing your grade, coaching and improving
-Guiding of classic rock routes (see below)
