Story

This September 3 women hope to complete a challenge that is unique in Scottish climbing history. They intend to climb 3 classic sea stacks: Old Man of Stoer, Am Buachaille and the iconic Old Man of Hoy, in 3 days. 

Situated along Scotland's Northern coastline the sea stacks are isolated pinnacles of rock, surrounded by the sea, accessible by scrambling, swimming and tyrolean traverse (zip line).

With over 200 miles of travelling between each stack (including 2 ferries) and 240 meters of rock to climb, the challenge of climbing all 3 in 3 days will provide an exhausting challenge unequalled in Scottish climbing history.

All your donations will go to Urban Uprising, a Scottish grassroots charity dedicated to improving the lives of youths from disadvantaged areas in Scotland. 

The Urban Uprising projects have proven to be successful in improving the young people's social and physical well-being and has allowed them the chance to participate in a sport normally beyond their reach.

By contributing to our challenge you will also help us to inspire more people to get active and discover adventure through climbing.
