Outline objective

Unlike the large and institutional mountaineering schools, We operate on a small and informal basic, this allows a personal service and the opportunity for you to get the most from your Scottish trip. The aim for the week would be for you to enjoy a combination of technical training days with gully, ridge and climbing days. We would aim to complete the week with a climb on Ben Nevis.
