The foundation of any British Mountain Guides’ experience is derived from our adventurous approach to rock climbing, for which British climbers are world renowned. Most British guides took their first steps towards becoming Guides through rock climbing, and the first of the series of stringent Guides’ tests takes place on British rock.
Skills, Coaching and Guiding
Most people are capable of climbing at a high grade by training on indoor walls, but a guide can help you to further develop your climbing to a higher standard still. A guide can help you apply the movement skills developed on an indoor wall to the outside environment, whether that’s on bolted sport climbs or adventure climbs protected by more traditional methods.
The quality of instruction provided by Guides is reflected by the fact that many of the instructors at both of the UK’s National Mountain Centres are British Mountain Guides.
