Welcome

Welcome. Climb-Mountains is a small business run by myself, Ian Hey. I offer friendly and professional coaching and instruction in all aspects of rock climbing and mountaineering. Based in Snowdonia, North Wales I am also available to run courses throughout the UK. Most of our winter courses are run in Scotland. 

Instruction. Whether you are keen to try an activity for the first time or you are looking to develop on to the next level I can arrange personalised instruction to help you progress.

Guiding. If you would prefer a fun or challenging day out without instruction private guiding can be arranged to help you fulfil your personal dreams and ambitions.

Trips and Holidays. We offer a number of holiday courses both in the UK and in Europe. Whether it is a leisurely week with a bit of climbing thrown in or an action-packed week where you climb until you can't climb any more, the choice is yours

 

Please have a look around the site to see the sorts of things on offer. If you have an idea and don’t see it listed please get in touch because we can almost certainly arrange it for you.

Get in touch today by phone or email to discuss any ideas you may have without any commitment to make a booking.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
