Two Rock Outdoor Mountain Endeavours

In irish Mountain landscapes

In Ireland we have unique landscapes, with their own delicate eco systems and habitats. Mountains are by definition, raised landforms, every metre of ascent brings you to new vegetation, habitats and climes. We visit these some of these areas with safety, conservation and preservation as our top priorities.

Our Aim is to cause as little disturbance as possible to these delicate areas. We put careful thought into our own effect on the regions we visit with groups. Our exhaustive care-list considers everything from footfall, transport, litter, biodiversity and the communities we visit.

Furthermore, we aim to inspire confidence in the hills through meaningful experiences. Clearly defined goals, challenge by choice and a culture of support and community, these are the key elements of who we are.
