Get MORE from your trip to the Lake District

Climbing in the Lakes

At More than Mountains we want you to get more from your trip to Cumbria and the Lake District. We offer rock climbing, scrambling, guided walks with a highly qualified Blue Badge guide, navigation courses, multi-activity days and winter mountaineering courses. You can come on one of our advertised dates or we can tailor a day just for you.

We can teach you a new skill, show you some of our favourite parts of the Lake District or perhaps guide you up a walking or climbing route you have always wanted to do.   We guarantee enthusiastic, qualified instructors and guides and small group sizes.  If you have any questions about a course or a private day please do not hesitate to get in touch. 

What do you want to do?

Gorge walking fun

Gorge Walking

Scrambling up or sliding down a mountain stream trying to stay dry or getting soaking wet - there's a gorge walk or ghyll scramble (as they are known in the Lake District) for everyone. You can try gorge walking as a half day activity or combine it with rock climbing and abseiling for one of our action packed multi-activity days.

Guided Climbing course

Rock Climbing

Whether you have never tried rock climbing before or you want to learn advanced rescue techniques we have the course for you.  Come to the Lake District, the birthplace of rock climbing, and learn how to get to the top. We can run a day for you and your friends to try rock climbing for the first time or we can teach you how to go climbing without us.

Walking with a Blue Badge Guide

Highly qualified Blue Badge guides can take you on a guided walk anywhere throughout Cumbria and the Lake District.  Conquer England's highest peak, visit William Wordsworth's birthplace or see England's favourite view.  Cumbria and the Lake District have so much to offer and a Blue Badge Guide can show you the best bits.
