Yesterday, we flew over the breathtaking Himalayas to the lakeside town of Pokhara, where we met our amazing guides from 3 Sisters Trekking. Today, under clear skies, we’ve laced up our hiking boots to begin our 8-day journey to Mardi Himal Base Camp! Here’s to adventure, new friends and incredible views ahead. Wish us luck! 🏔️🇳🇵

Ocean Vertical
We lead adventures into the Scottish mountains and ocean.
Based in Scotland on the rugged coastline of East Lothian, 25 miles east of Edinburgh we are a passionate team of adventurers specializing in paddle boarding, coasteering, surfing, climbing and mountaineering, locally and across Scotland 365.
Our purpose: To share a love for adventure in the natural world and ensure the survival of our last remaining wild places.
Our team: We are a diverse team from radically different backgrounds and cultures. We are bound by a love for adventure and experiences in the natural world. Together we put the planet first.
We keep the wild, wild: As an adventure company we place the wild and natural environment of Scotland at our core.
Professional adventure: We are qualified mountain leaders and rock climbing instructors. We are an accredited Academy of Surf Instructors School and Instructor Training Centre. We offer coasteering guide and assessment training using the National Coasteering Charter Guidelines. We train and assess qualifications by Surf Life Saving Great Britain. We continue to build on these qualifications as we expand our adventures deeper into the Scottish wilderness.
A simple philosophy: In all the activities and experiences we offer in the mountains and ocean our goal is to minimise the environmental impact and leave no trace through our journeys.
We have a simple philosophy on life: a respect and taste for real adventure, a love for our natural world and a belief that we human beings are not paramount – wilderness for its own sake.
No justification. For us, being in nature is a transformational experience.
