What Our Clients Say

The way Dan put us all at ease to take part no matter our disability and he has been able to make us feel it was possible. My confidence has increased, just by attempting [climbing] something not normally a disabled person would think of.

David, Adapted climbing session

A day with Danny, a day to remember. Danny is an inspiration, experienced, great teacher and sound all round guy. You will come away having learnt more had fun and been challenged. Cheers Danny👍

Pete, Summer Scrambling

5 of us today with little map reading knowledge headed out with Danny with the hope we would at least master the art of placing a compass on a map. What we got was so much more. With never ending patience Danny took us through so many aspects of reading the surroundings and understanding the map. Such an informative and enjoyable day - only made better by the beautiful surroundings. Thank you Danny.

Emma, Navigation day with Running Club

Great day out with Danny from Summit For Success. Dan knows the Lake District like the back of his hand and is armed with the knowledge to deliver stress free and highly enjoyable training and adventure. 100% recommend.

Rob, Winter Walking

Highly recommend Dan and Summit For Success. His relaxed and cheerful disposition puts you at ease from the start, but also knowing you have a knowledgeable, safe and highly professional skilled guy leading the way. An excellent activity and so good to meet Dan. Look forward to doing it again for our Blesma group in the future

Jeff, BLESMA climbing event

Dan was an exceptional instructor, informal, but informative, nothing was too much trouble if you didn't grasp a technique, he would show you as many times as you needed to feel comfortable doing it yourself. Highly recommend him to anyone thinking of giving climbing a try out for beginners who may lack personal confidence.

Lee, Intro to Climbing

We booked a morning session of climbing for my son’s 7th birthday. Dan took us to the Langdale Valley, which was an amazing introduction to outdoor climbing. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and the kids are very keen to do further climbing. Thank you for a great experience and a very memorable birthday

Katie, Intro to Rock Climbing

Thank you for providing such a lovely day. It was perfect and just what we had hoped for. We had a brilliant time and Mike and I enjoyed watching the children as well as reminding ourselves what it feels like to climb outside!
