WHAT customers SAY

Pillar rock and Ennerdale valley, lake District, Cumbria.jpg

We had a wonderful day out in the mountain with Sam. He's incredibly knowledgeable about everything outdoors and kindly tailored the experience to our specific requests. Would definitely recommend!

Sam really was fantastic. He had a great gauge for my experience and my ambitions and tailored the day so I got the most out of it. Had a lot of fun, learnt some new skills along the way and he is a great guy to talk to. I can't rate them highly enough.

Climbing in Eskdale

Fabulous day with Sam working on nav skills. A lovely guy, easy to get on with, Sam has a great & structured approach to your learning, he's very clear & easy to understand. I had a 1:1 & Sam tailored the day to get the best out of it for what I wanted, so despite the slightly challenging weather, I had a great day & learnt a lot.....such a great day I've booked him again for a scrambling day.

Belaying a lead climber

Pillar rock has long been an ambition and Sam helped me realise that. Calm, confidence inspiring and always safe. It was great to learn some seconding skills. I’m sure he didn’t need any protection climbing as well as he does but it was great to be involved in the adventure not just towed up it.
