Description

Planning a mountaineering adventure to the Alps or some other exotic mountain destination? Then head out to the United Kingdom first for some Alpine training across multiple locations!

From Scotland’s Cairngorms to the lovely English Lake District and stunning Snowdonia in Wales, we can head out to any of these spectacular locations to build up your skill set and make some excellent ascents.

Each of these three spots is a veritable playground for climbing and we’re sure to have a blast wherever we go.

Depending on your skills, how long you have to spend climbing and your preferences, we will tailor the perfect itinerary that best prepares you for your next trip.

These are just a few of the things we’ll try to go over during our time together:

General rope maintenance, taking rope coils and rope work
Body belays, selecting and using direct belays
Rock protection
Route finding and navigation
Descending and abseiling
How to prusik
Crevasse rescue training
Ice axe and crampon techniques (only available during the winter)

So what are you waiting for? Book now for an informative and intense 1+ day Alpine training experience in Scotland’s Cairngorms, England’s Lake District or Snowdonia in Wales!

If you like the look of this trip then I think you will also enjoy my 4-day scrambling traverse of Cuillin Ridge on the Isle of Skye!

What people are saying about Paul

Martin

I was very fortunate to spend time climbing in England's Lake District in Nov 2024 with Paul Bedford. What a terrific guy and a great adventure! I can't recommend him highly enough. He was very safe and skilled, taught me heaps, knew the area extremely well and was great company. Just wished we'd had more time together. Thank you Explore-Share for connecting me to Paul and supporting our trip. I'd give Paul six stars if I could.

James

Had a great day with Paul scrambling Pinnacle Ridge in the Lake District. Paul was a brilliant guide, very patient (especially with my abysmal rope work skills!), knowledgeable and above all, kept me safe so I could enjoy the day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rock n Ridge and will use them again. Thanks again for a great day 👍
