ROCK CLIMBING COURSES
Scotland has some of the best rock climbing in the entire United Kingdom. Combined with perfect rock, vast remoteness and amazing drop backs you will never want to leave.
From the sandstone cliffs in Torridon, the excellent rough Lewisian gneiss in Gairloch, the quick drying schist in the Central Highlands and the sub-arctic granite plateau of the Cairngorms, we can guarantee that our training ground is one of the most diverse around.
During this coming summer season, Di Gilbert Mountaineering will be providing courses in rock climbing.
These courses are aimed specifically at individuals who wish to learn the skills involved in being a safe, efficient and competent rock climber.
They last 2 days and we will travel around the north of Scotland seeking out the best venues to learn and practice new skills.
If you prefer a more in-depth rock climbing course lasting 5 days, this can easily be arranged.
Please contact Di Gilbert directly if you have any questions, if you are unsure if this course is suitable for you or any other enquiries.
