Discover the thrill of climbing and abseiling in the breathtaking Highlands of Scotland, just outside Inverness. This full-day introductory course at Pinnacle Crags is perfect for beginners and those who want to build confidence moving from the climbing gym to natural rock.
You’ll meet your guide and group at 10:00, kit up with provided gear, and take a short walk to the crags. The morning focuses on safety, harness use, helmet fitting, knot-tying, belaying, and the basics of movement on real rock—no experience required! Practice on beginner-friendly routes with hands-on guidance and individual support.
After a relaxed lunch break surrounded by Highland scenery, shift your focus to learning the fundamentals of abseiling (rappelling)—from set-up through safe descent. Emphasis is placed on building technique, working as a team, and growing your confidence in a supportive, fun environment.
Your expert instructor is a certified member of the Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI) and tailors the experience to each participant’s skills and comfort level. You’ll leave the course with new abilities, fresh outdoor memories, and free action photos of your achievement.
