We're not just here to drag you around the hike. We're also here to help build your confidence with navigating the mountains, providing educational titbits about the area, but mainly for some fun banter and sharing my midget gems!

Anyone can join a hike, although we can provide smaller groups if you want something just for you and your friends or family. We put a huge focus on enjoyment, so will go at your pace, stop when you need a breather or just to take a photo and holding your hand for any technical parts (literally if you need it!).
