Welcome to Outdoor Ascent

The outdoors can change your life


Climbing and mountaineering can take you to amazing places. It’s take me to the Peak District, Wales, Scotland and even the Alps (Swiss, Italian and French). Not only can this sport improve your mental and physical health and strength, but you will also meet some amazing people.

With Outdoor Ascent, we aim to promote and teach about all things related to climbing and mountaineering, with a few other bits thrown in there too (all outdoor-related).
These are the best sports in the world, but getting into and enjoying safely can be difficult. We want to help make that easier.
