Can I climb a mountain with no experience?

This expedition is being led by the brilliant Jan Phillips. Jan lives in North Wales and is an experienced Mountain Leader. As a trusted partner for Love Her wild, she is passionate about getting more women outdoors and will be on hand throughout the journey to help get you ready.

Off the back of the success of this project in 2019, we’ll be inviting more women to take part in 2026. Are you looking for the motivation and encouragement to take your first steps into adventuring! Are you ready to embrace the challenge this year?

Need to know

There will be 8 spaces available for this expedition. It will be free to apply, and you will be required to fill out an application form. 

By applying you agree to the following:

– you must be a member of the Love Her Wild Facebook group

– you will be responsible for covering any transport and accommodation costs.

– starting the hike with a baseline fitness and suitable health ready to complete a climb (if you are unsure about this the best person to ask is your GP)

– wearing warm and suitable outdoor clothing on the day of the hike (you should avoid wearing jeans or cotton as they take a long time to dry if they get wet….gym clothes work well for hiking and fleeces!)

– being photographed and interviewed for promotional purposes. This won’t dominate your day as any footage will be about capturing the story in an organic way

–  being a supportive, patient and compassionate team member

Applications opening soon.

If you would like to be notified when applications open, please email fiona@loveherwild.com
