Climb the Old Man of Hoy “ The Old Man of Hoy is one of the most iconic rock climbs in the United Kingdom. Climbing the Old Man is a real adventure, not only for the technical climbing but also the fact that unlike many rock climbs in the UK you can’t just walk off the top! The Old Man of Hoy is made of soft sandstone and is constantly being eroded by the elements, so it won’t be there forever - visit it while you still can!” Scott Webster, professional climber
Chris Chittell from Emmerdale climbed the Old Man of Hoy for charity.
“…intimidating! I felt like an ant on his back… and I hate heights! Still, hey ho! Thanks Orkney!!!”
