“It was great fun, enough of a sense of achievement to climb but not too arduous. Would be a good trip for end of Year 6 celebration. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, took the safety part seriously and made sure we were all able to do it.”

Robert Blair School

“We really enjoyed the experience. It was very well-organised and the guides were brilliant – just the right mixture of safety and humour. We had Karl as our lead instructor and he was extremely knowledgeable and Martin was great as his second in command. We really enjoyed the walk up and down and the time spent at the top was just right – they created a great atmosphere with the music and I can imagine that it would be great taking part in an activity up there.”

Henry Cavendish Primary School

“The climb was quite fun and we had really great service/instruction from the staff. It all felt very safe and straightforward. Of course a new experience too, so was exciting…”

London Academy of Excellence
