Scout Natural Rock Climbing Permits

Do you love seeing the world from up high and are an avid climber? Would you like to share your passion with your Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers? Why not gain your Scout Natural Rock Climbing Permit with us, right in the middle of the  highest mountains of Eryri/Snowdonia in North Wales! We run regular Scout Natural Rock Climbing Permit training and assessment weekends throughout the year. All our courses are run by our highly experienced and friendly volunteer staff who are fully qualified, most holding Rock Climbing Instructor, or higher. We offer both training and assessments on all weekends, but you can’t do both in the same weekend. If you are not sure whether you are ready for assessment, please check out our FAQs and the course information. To attend a permit training course you must already be able to lead trad climbs and be comfortable placing leader-placed protection. The course will run over a weekend, Friday night to Sunday afternoon, and food and accommodation is included.
