Welcome to First Mountains. We are a provider of top quality Outdoor Climbing courses, Navigation courses and Adventures. Based in Sheffield, we run courses all across the UK including in North Wales, the Peak District, the Lake District, and up into the North Western Highlands of Scotland. Be sure to check out the location of the Outdoor courses on offer!
- Make the transition from indoor climbing to outdoor climbing with our Beginner’s Rock Climbing course, or improve your climbing technique on an Improvers Climbing course. Once you’ve mastered Climbing technique and are ready to step out in to the world of rock climbing on your own we offer an Advanced Climbing course for those ready to take the final steps towards being a fully fledge climber.
- Discover the ‘dark art’ of navigation on one of our Navigation courses, which take you right through the basics all the way to navigating in the dark on your own! Think you know all there is to know about Navigation maybe it’s time to look at our Natural Navigation course, taking a more holistic approach to moving in the mountains.
- Challenge yourself to complete one of our Outdoor Weekend Challenges. These range from the Welsh 3000’s to remote trekking in the Scottish Highlands and most things in-between. We are currently expanding this range to encompass everything the UK has to offer. There will be a variety of levels from relaxing activity weekends to ‘full-on’ adventures in the mountains.
