Mount Cook Weekend by Adventure Solos - Scrambling

MOUNT COOK WEEKEND

by Adventure Solos

OVERVIEW

We're in the Peak District for the Mount Cook weekend, at a modern outdoor centre where we've got various rock sports waiting for you!

​​

On this rock sport event we focus on a few key rock sport activities so that we get a good taster of each activity. This weekend includes caving, rock climbing, scrambling and a via-ferrata (meaning "iron path" - a climbing route where you generally traverse horizontally using fixtures such as cables, railings and steel steps).

​

Accommodation is provided for the Friday and Saturday nights, and in the evening we'll enjoy some food together at a local pub and at Mount Cook's on-site bar (soft drinks are available!). 

​​

Various meals are provided throughout the weekend as well as accommodation, instructors, activities and all equipment, You'll also have an Adventure Solos host (usually Chris) present throughout the event to make you feel welcome.
