Those with some experience will benefit from personalised instruction that builds on their existing knowledge. ### What fitness level do I need?

If you’re comfortable walking up to 6–8 hours with breaks, you’ll be well-suited for this activity. ### Will the course run if it rains? Yes, the course will proceed in most weather conditions. Wet weather is part of the mountaineering challenge, and you’ll gain valuable skills for handling adverse conditions. In severe weather, the itinerary may be adjusted for safety, but the course will continue wherever possible. ### Can I book as a group or just as an individual? Both individual and group bookings are welcome, with group sizes capped at 5 participants per instructor.
