Esk Gorge – an advanced full day ghyll scramble session from £65 per person.
For those with previous experience, or those looking for a higher level of excitement, the Esk Gorge offers an involved day out. The nature of this gorge boasts a series of high level waterfall jumps ranging from 6 to 30 feet high, into huge crystal clear plunge pools. Accessing these jumps involves technical scrambling up full force waterfalls, where sometimes a safety rope may be required. Whilst it’s not essential to launch yourself from the higher tiers, its far more rewarding to put your trust with the experience of the instructor and take the plunge! Please call us if you would like to book this ghyll.
