We are based in the centre of the Peak District in the great outdoors and provide outdoor activities from rock climbing & abseiling, navigation courses, mountain & hill walking guides, scrambling, and much more. Peak Outdoor was established and is run by Simon Stokes who is a qualified Mountain Leader, Rock Climbing Instructor, Navigation Tutor (NNAS) and local guide as well as an avid rock, ice c

limber and mountaineer. From an early age Simon has had a passion for all things outdoors and after building an established business in another sector he decided to combine two of his skills and passions which are running a professional business and outdoor activities into one and create Peak Outdoor. Two of our main passions in life are enjoying the outdoors ourselves and introducing and assisting other people enjoy them too. Simon has hiked and climbed in all the mountainous areas of the UK in both summer and winter, he has also climbed in The Alps, The Himalayas and The Jungles and mountains of Borneo and has a passion for helping people enjoy their experience of the great outdoors. Whether its a local walk or rock climb in the Peak District, Lakes, Scotland or Wales or a multi-adventure activity day for the more adventurous, Simon and his team of experienced guides can ensure you have a fabulous day out.

Mountaineering in the Peak District? Is it even possible? Well, not only is it possible, it’s recommended. You just have to use your imagination and take an altogether alternative approach...

Intro to Trad Rock climbing 🧗. After yesterday’s Hill & Mountain skills, was ready to test her nerve with some rock climbing on Burbage Edge.

We started out with some top roping & then progressed to following my lead by seconding & retrieving protection.

We then moved on to various different abseils which Jean took to like a duck to water 🦆 💦 🪢

We finished off a fine day with some short roping & scrambling practice over the crags & boulders in readiness for the next days intro to scrambling 👌

Torridon Adventure - great to be back climbing the Torridon Giants ⛰️👌.

Andrew had watched from the sidelines lines for 5 years as we enjoyed our yearly jaunts to climb the best mountains in mainland Britain.

All good things come to those who wait & Beinn Alligin “The Mountain of Beauty” was worth waiting for 💪

We run this trip from May to October. It’s 3 or 5 days & we climb the main Torridon ridges of Beinn Alligin , Liathach & Beinn Eighe. Also on the menu for our longer trips are An Teallach & Slioch.

Isle of Skye - Bla Bheinn (Blaven). The Mountaineers USA completed their grand tour of the Highlands with an ascent of this grand peak.

Known as a Gabbro Outlier due to its separation from the main Cuillin mountains, Bla Bheinn has superb views of The Cuillin Ridge, one of the few places you can see all the peaks in a linear profile 😍

This includes views of The Red Cuillins and most of The Skye Trail we had completed over the last 7 days.

What a way to finish 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

kye Trail our final day ⛰️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😍. The team enjoyed The Quiraing amazing rock architecture and then , a coastal walk to the very north end of Skye, to what feels like the top of the world.

The Rhuba Hunnish is another one of Skyes gems 💎. Precipitous sea cliffs & prehistoric rock formations looking out towards The Outer Hebrides, provided a fitting finale for this glorious trail .

Lunch in The Lookout Bothy was de rigueur of course 😊

A pleasure working for
