Mountain Skills
Training Courses

Winter/Summer

Want to go somewhere, do something special, meet like-minded people and develop a seriously healthy addiction? I experience this every day - with the great outdoors. It has it all... mountains, rock, snow, ice and canyons. I can’t think of a better place to be at the weekend than “ Scotland’s GreatWilderness”.

Scotland hosts some of the best adventure terrain to be found in Northern Europe. Outdoor recreationists can’t resist its vast, remote and rugged landscape, once seen, or even better experienced, you are sure to be tempted back. A positive lifestyle addiction that takes you places, where you do special things with like-minded people who’s affair is with the great outdoors.

Tiso have been sharing this lifestyle with thousands of people for well over 40 years and for 10 of those years Climbmts have provided a vast range of outdoor courses led by industry experts and their teams of highly qualified instructors.

To maximise a weekend, begin by maximising your outdoor skills. At the same time learn about how outdoor equipment really works, when it matters.Without essential outdoor skills and equipment it’s very easy to get caught out, regardless of how much you enjoy the great outdoors. Learning mountain skills will only enhance your enjoyment and make your playground of summits and ridges a safer place.

We look forward to meeting you.
