"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as the sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms teir energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."
John Muir

Do you want to learn the basics of rock climbing? Thinking about progressing outdoors from indoor climbing? Or are you looking for a fun activity for yourself or the whole family?

Why not join one of our rock climbing sessions and let our fully qualified instructors teach you the basics of rock climbing in safety on one of the wonderful crags in the Lake District.

The day will include several 'single pitch' rock climbs and abseiling.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

"The mountains have rules. they are harsh rules, but they are there, and if you keep to them you are safe. A mountain is not like men. A mountain is sincere. The weapons to conquer it exist inside you, inside your soul."
Walter Bonatti

Please note that although this is a rock climbing event there will be a walk in to the crag, depending on the days venue this could be between 10 minutes and an hour, therfore suitable shoes / boots are required for the walk, as is suitable waterproof and warm clothing.
