ScotJam: Explorers - Hill & Rock Skills
ScotJam: Explorers - Hill & Rock Skills
Climb, scramble, and build real confidence on rock and rugged terrain.
Hills & Rock Skills is perfect for Explorers who want to develop their confidence on real rock and in mountainous terrain. Across the week, you’ll work towards gaining two recognised Mountain Training awards, learning the essential skills to enjoy the hills and crags safely.
The Rock Skills component introduces you to climbing on real outdoor crags. You’ll learn how to move confidently on rock, understand the safety systems, and work as a team to keep each other safe. It’s ideal whether you’re new to climbing or looking to take your indoor experience outdoors for the first time.
The Hill Skills element builds your confidence travelling in the hills - covering navigation, route choice, equipment, weather awareness and how to look after yourself and others during a day on the hill. Training is adapted to the group and the conditions, ensuring everyone progresses at the right pace.
Together, these courses give you the practical foundation for future mountain adventures, and can be a stepping stone towards further Mountain Training qualifications.
