What an incredible week 🙌 We had the privilege of spending time with 10 young people from across the country, all passionate about exploring the outdoors, pushing their limits and facing their fears. Every year we are left in awe of their spirit, kindness and strength. Each of them arrives with their own barriers and challenges, yet they bring such energy, compassion and determination. This is not the end. We’ll stay in touch and, through our scholarship scheme, continue to support them, whether that’s achieving their goals in the outdoors or simply staying connected to the mountains. From the team here at MMF, our hearts are full and our souls uplifted. A huge thank you to: Our amazing instructor and leadership team: @alexmoranmountaineering Adele Pennington Mountaineering @markchadderschadwick @kirstypallas @natedogwhite for inspiring the young people every step of the way. 🪢 Our generous sponsors: @mountainequipment @lyonequipment @bridgedaleoutdoor @petzl_official @lasportivauk @cordeebooks @climbersshop.

Day 5 – back to the crag by popular demand 🧗🏻‍♂️🧗‍♀️ For our final day we headed to the coast, giving the team the chance to put all their new skills into action on the sea cliffs and caves at Cummingston. The iconic cave free hanging abseil added an extra burst of excitement and plenty of smiles. A brilliant way to finish the week with 10 amazing young people who have faced fears, pushed past nerves and embraced every adventure that came their way. Hometime tomorrow… #mountainadventure #youthdevelopment #seacliffclimbing #climbing #mountaineering #youngadventurers #outdoorlearning (fb)
