Alpha Mountaineering offer all aspects of mountaineering in the Scottish hills. They provide instruction and guiding in walking, scrambling and climbing, both in summer and winter. Whether you want to learn to navigate, climb a sea stack or use ice axes for the first time we can teach you the skills you need.

Nick Carter has been climbing since the early 80's. He has instructed in the outdoors for the last 12 years including working for Plas Y Brenin (The National Mountain Centre for England and Wales).

At Alpha Mountaineering we will create the course that suits you. We don't have set dates for courses, but give you some suggested course itineraries and then let you shape the course to fit your experience and aspirations.

What we do best:

Rock Climbing Courses

If you have only climbed inside and want to get a taste of 'real' climbing, then we can take you on your first traditional rock climb, teach you to place gear and help you to understand setting up anchors. You may have climbed elsewhere in the UK but been a bit intimidated by the big mountain routes Scotland has to offer. If this is the case then Alpha Mountaineering can take you on an adventure of a life time. We can base ourselves in Fort William and explore the mountains of Glencoe and Lochaber. Alternatively come to Skye where we will enjoy the rough gabbro routes of the Black Cuillin. Maybe you want something a little more adventurous? Booking a course in Ullapool will give us access to the mountains of the far North West of Scotland. If you haven't climbed in the East you can try our Aviemore based course where we will spend much of our time in the granite corries of the Cairngorms.
