Our Aim

The aim of the group is to reconnect people with the outdoors and promote the benefits it plays on our lives and mental health.

We do this by creating safe and enjoyable events specifically designed by Joe’s Giants. We welcome all who would like to challenge their brain in a way that can’t be achieved from everyday routines. We are not asking you to talk if you do not want to, this society is about leaving those problems behind, tackling an achievement that stands in your way, overcoming obstacles and challenging the mind and body to what is possible when you persevere, carry on and do not give up.

We want you to climb

your mind

Join Us?

A mountain and mental health have a lot in common. Mountains, like problems, can feel so daunting within the moment, you want to give up because you are too tired to carry on but you strive forward and when you reach the top you are welcomed with the sense of massive achievement that kick starts positive endorphins within the brain. When you work past a problem and deal with mental health you are riding a mountain within the mind. No mountain too big or no problem too small there is always an end.

Let us pull you away from that mountain within your brain
