At Capricorn we believe the best way to learn is to spend as much time out ‘doing’ with safe client centred learning at the heart of what we do.  We can give you a tailor made mountaineering experience whether its gill scrambling, ridge walking, single pitch climbing, multi pitch climbing, rock scrambling or navigating across the Cairngorm plateau.

So if you fancy trying something new or just refresh and hone your skills then contact one of our team.

Handled ascenders for fixed ropes, rescue and protection with a fixed rope. The ergonomic grip is ideal for gloved hands and insulates the handle in cold conditions. The Ascension has a self-cleaning cam design holds well even on muddy and icy ropes.
A Caving ascender designed for chest mounting, the Croll mounts between sit harness and chest strap, lying flat against the chest. It is ideal for use with any single rope ascent system. Unlike the Basic, this clamp is not designed as protection with fixed rope.

The Ropeman is a unique design, without doubt the smallest, lightest and most affordable full-functioning ascender.
The Ropeman MKII is based on the Ropeman but a much tougher cookie! Still lightweight and compact it can deal with a broader range of rope diameters. Replaces the ridges of MKI with Pins that reduces the weight but also rope wear.
A lightweight, versatile Polycarbonate climbing helmet that is easy to adjust with no fiddly buckles or knots. Instead a Petzl solution that will adjust to any head shape or size even over headgear for winter climbing by two wheels that adjust the cradle size.
The classic helmet with an optimal price/performance ratio. A helmet for Climbing centres and for those on a budget.
We have all been there. One moment we are reaching for that perfect hold but without even realising we are flying through space. For rock climbers who are pushing their limits and require the strength and higher fall factor available with a 10.5mm rope, the Calanques is the choice.

The Calanques excels in alpine environments as well as sport, indoor and big wall situations. For those practicing the double rope system, the Calanques is also available in an 8.5mm diameter. CE certified.

However, with its uncomplicated yet clever design features: fully adjustable leg loops, a high tie-in point, colour coded buckles for no-mistake fastening. The DMM Alpine Harness is particularly well suited to group activities where top roping or abseiling are concerned - hence its phenomenal popularity with outdoor centres. An extra large version is also available.
The clog centre harness was designed in consultation with outdoor professional to give a high-featured activity harness. Features like different coloured leg loops, large easy to thread buckles and easily identifiable screw gate single clip in point. Adjustable on waist and legs.
The go anywhere do anything harness, the Calidris offers a wide range of adjustability with little added weight or bulk thanks to the miniature Double-Back buckles on the leg loops. Two buckles each side of the tie in point, ensures that the tie in point and equip loops always stay centered.
