Two Rock Outdoor Mountain Endeavours

Irish Mountain landscapes

These are 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. This is one of the reasons we visit these areas. Safety, conservation and preservation are 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. 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.
