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:
<ul>
 	<li>General rope maintenance, taking rope coils and rope work</li>
 	<li>Body belays, selecting and using direct belays</li>
 	<li>Rock protection</li>
 	<li>Route finding and navigation</li>
 	<li>Descending and abseiling</li>
 	<li>How to prusik</li>

The fourth day is the highlight of the trip. It will see us take on a more challenging winter ascent, such as Aonach Eagach, Sron na Lairig and/or Number 2 Gully, among others.
