“Have a great winter , see you in the hills”

 

Early season conditions are what the Scottish Tooling Series is all about and this year the Scottish Tooling Series in association with Big Tree Campervans have come up with a unique and exciting event.

The event for the prizewinners and selected runners up and will give the opportunity for climbing at the top level with access to top and experienced climbers from the Scottish Mixed climbing scene.

What’s involved

The STS Adult winners and selected runners up will be based at the CIC hut on the nights of the 2nd and 3rd of December.

Hosted by the STS team headed up by young mixed superstar Greg Boswell who will climb with a team of STS winners each day.

The aim of the weekend will be to attempt to climb new mixed routes or repeats that will challenge each person’s abilities.

 

The north face of Ben Nevis holds an amazing array of routes of all grades and this prize is an incredible opportunity for our winners to make their mark on the Scottish Mixed stage and put to use any equipment prizes they have gained throughout the series.
