Trip Description

This is an advanced beginners trip and suitable for the majority of occasional climbers wanting to climb a little harder or learn to lead. Coire Lagan, the Triple Buttress & the Applecross pass offer superb venues for an exciting week where you can stretch yourself and expand your climbing experience.

The grades and challenges of the week will largely depend on the aspirations of the group throughout. You might want to take those first steps towards confident, safe leading or lead at harder grades. If being at the sharp end of the rope isn't for you then come along and enjoy the climbing and aslo learn how to second properly and how to assist a lead climber in various scenarios.

Lots of challenge amidst great mountain scenery and the inevitable tall tales over a pint in the Applecross Inn.
