Sea Kayaking

The beautiful coastline of North Wales is ideal to explore by sea kayaking.  From novice trips on calm waters to advanced journeys in bigger seas and tidal races. Caves, cliffs and islands we can tailor a course for all abilities.

Rock Climbing

There are countless rock climbing venues around North Wales. Ideal beginner crags that are friendly to long multi-pitch routes in the mountains and on the sea cliffs. With low ratio coaching we can allow you to safely experience the delights of rock climbing and advance to higher levels.

Mountaineering

It is always special to be in the mountains. We can give you the skills to be an independent hill walker or undertake steeper scrambles up the many peaks of Snowdonia. Scrambling involves some basic climbing and can put you in some breathtaking positions.

Unforgettable days on a snowy mountain or steep ice climb. We offer courses both in Wales and Scotland, from initial mountaineering to winter climbing on routes of all grades.
