About the taster day:
Try rock climbing and abseiling on this beginner’s outdoor activity taster day in South Devon.
Whether you are on holiday in Devon, or based near the South Hams, Exeter, Torbay or Plymouth we are blessed with a selection of rock ‘gems’ to climb in South Devon. From the quartz-granulated granite of the Dartmoor Tors to the crystal-encrusted coastal limestone of Torbay, there is an enticing variety of rock climbing routes. Depending on your previous experience we will tailor the rock climbing and abseiling taster day to suit your ability and confidence.
