Elements Guiding
Here for your Scottish Summer and Winter climbing needs, as well as your Alpine climbing and skiing dreams.
Elements Guiding can help guide, instruct and lead you on any mountain-related adventure and help educate and improve your skills. Whether you are looking to improve your rock climbing, be guided on an unforgettable climb or learn more self-reliance in the mountains, we can help you achieve these goals.
The climbing so far this summer has been excellent (in between the showers). If you want to improve your climbing and safety or enjoy some classic routes, drop an email to Elements Guiding.
This summer into autumn is the perfect opportunity for climbing that classic route, mountaineering in the Skye Cuillins; climb that ridge on Ben Nevis you've always wanted to or sharpen up your rope work and skills in this terrain.
The winter 2025 diary is filling up fast; please get in touch if you have any winter guiding questions or ideas that we can help with.

What our clients think
"Chadders (Mark Chadwick) has put together amazing itineraries every year I have asked and got to climb with him. My main goal has been to summit the Eiger —with my skill set, fears and availability, saying he has been accommodating would be an understatement. He is always extremely aware and attentive of external conditions and his client’s needs and requirements. I could not have asked for a better guide nor would I want any other guide."
