Starting Climbing

Practicing abseiling on The Dearg Slab, Tollaidh.

For new climbers or those who wish to go back to basics to improve skills and confidence. Tackling some enjoyable and straightforward routes on accessible crags is a great way of discovering and practising simple rope work such as belaying and abseiling alongside developing the all important movement on rock. There are several venues in Wester Ross that fit the bill perfectly for this course.
