ROCK CLIMBING - INTRODUCTION TO CLIMBING
Dangling on the end of a rope is not everyone's cup of tea but if this appeals to you our Introduction to Climbing course could be just the thing to help you get started. Under the supervision of our experienced instructors you will learn how to belay, set up climbs and have a go at abseiling. Whether you are a complete novice or just starting off this course will leave you with more confidence in your ability to start climbing under your own steam.
No matter what your objective we will:- Provide you with a enjoyable learning experience;
- Structure the day to your requirements; and
