“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 their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves”

John Muir

A fun packed day in the Langdale Valley, two sessions with a break for lunch between, either bring your own packed lunch or visit the Sticklebarn Inn for refreshment.

The morning session will be on one of the crags above the New Dungeon Ghyll, a beginners session suitable for all and a great introduction to outdoors climbing in the Lake District.

The afternoon session is an exhilarating scramble up Stickle Gill, this is a fun activity for all, best as a group activity, with fun challenges along the way from climbing a waterfall to jumping in the plunge pools. Your adrenaline will be pumping in these gorges which are naturally cut out by the flow of the water over the centuries.

“A special attraction almost unique”

A Wainwright

Please note that although the morning session 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, therefore suitable shoes / boots are required for the walk, as is suitable waterproof and warm clothing.

For the afternoon please bring some shoes or boots that can get wet.
