HVS - now we’re talking. At their best, routes at HVS feel like a genuine adventure, testing technique and mettle in equal measure, often with slightly worse gear and slightly longer blank sections. Our staff have picked five of Scotland’s very best, let us know just how wrong we got it in the comments!

Scotland 🏴 “Depending on the season, additional forms of protection may be required” 🦟
One from our galleries by Adam Russell 🦟
The updated Scarpa Origin VS keeps things simple: a slightly tweaked shape, the same comfort-led approach, and a cheaper price tag. Still aimed squarely at newer climbers and gym use, but now with even stronger value.

The beauty of sport climbing lies in being able to climb without clutter. In contrast to hardware-intensive trad climbing, your pack will be lighter on the walk-in, and your harness should weigh much less on the route. Gear is a lesser part of the overall experience, because you’re not pausing to fiddle with protection, but instead able to concentrate more purely on the climbing itself. The beauty of it is that you don’t need to invest a fortune in a huge amount of kit to get started. A few extra items in addition to your usual indoor lead climbing gear will see you clipping bolts and ticking projects in no time!

A very quick sneak peek at the new Arc’teryx Lithos SL harness.
Lightweight, minimal and built with sport climbing in mind, the Lithos SL is designed to feel barely there while still offering support for long sessions, redpoint attempts and days at the crag.

Trad climbing is as much a mental challenge as a physical one.
At the @strongmind.climbing clinic on the @arcteryxacademy, Angus Kille took climbers through a practical approach to fall practice on trad gear, beginning with the theory before moving into carefully managed exercises at the crag.
The focus wasn’t on taking big falls for the sake of it, but on building understanding: how gear behaves, how belaying affects the outcome, and how progressive exposure can help climbers make better decisions when it matters.
