Summer Alpine Climbing
Summer alpine activities run from mid-June until late September, however we can arrange Personal Guiding (at 1:1, 2:1 or 3:1 ratios) and Custom Courses outside this period.
Typical Programmes are given where we feel that this best describes a course. Please treat these as a guide only - conditions in the mountains may dictate that we change plans in order to give you the best and safest course.
Each course page has a paragraph entitled Who the course will suit. This gives a guide to the minimum climbing standard / experience needed for the course. Please call us to discuss if you would like to take a particular course but your experience doesn’t exactly match the criteria – alternative experience may be acceptable or we can recommend ways to reach the required standard.
People taking a course may climb to a considerably higher standard than the minimum recommended for joining that course. There is usually the flexibility to make a course more challenging for an experienced climbing team.
