Mountaineering



Mountaineering courses take place in more challenging terrain and require a high level of fitness. On these courses, you will be introduced to the skills required to plan and undertake journeys in a variety of environments and conditions. Previous hillwalking experience is essential.

Our courses vary from summer mountaineering through advanced winter mountaineering. We also run courses in Scotland and Wales, giving you the opportunity to further develop your experience.

The skills covered on these courses range from basic ropework, through to use of ice axe and crampons. Other skills covered include ropework for scrambling, navigation in poor visibility, movement on steep ground, and techniques for journeying in winter conditions.

 

Current situation

As you are probably aware the current advice from the Northern Ireland Executive, Health Promotion Agency NI and Health & Safety Executive NI, as well as our expert group within Sport NI is that we cannot deliver any face to face courses for our customers including use of the Hot Rock Climbing Wall.

We know that you and many others like minded folk are very keen to get back on track with your plans to attend and complete a range of personal skills training and qualifications in a range of disciplines.

Believe us when we say we are equally keen to get outside with you and help you reach your goals and complete that journey.

How do we know? Because every day we get emails and phone calls asking when will courses resume and with every NI Executive mention of easing of restrictions the emails and phone calls are more frequent……
