Beginner and taster climbing sessions for all. Perfect for groups and families looking to experience rock climbing.

Description

This is a half day rock climbing session. It will allow you the opportunity to climb at a Lake District Crag and experience the thrill of being a rock climber. 

Your instructor will set up top rope systems for you to climb the wall, and be lowered back down once at the top. This is a safe and fun method to discover climbing. 

The difficulty can be tailored specific to the level of the group as all the climbs are rigged by the instructors on site. During the day it may be possible to learn some new skills such as belaying, tying in and abseiling.
