About the guided climbing day:
Let’s go Climbing!
Perhaps you’re in Devon on holiday and you want to experience some of the classic climbs the county has to offer. Or maybe you’ve been climbing indoors for some time and want to get a feeling for real rock and the pathway to transferring your climbing gym skills to roped climbing on single pitch routes outside. We can help with that on this guided climbing day!
There are many awesome single pitch trad climbs of varying difficulties amongst the crags from Dartmoor to the coast that are a great introduction to real rock climbing in context with traditional climbing ethics. There are also plenty of intermediate to hard sport climbing to come and cut your teeth on and we would be delighted guide you, show you about and help you get out climbing! Equally, if you’d like to climb in Cornwall, Dorset or other locations in the Westcountry, we would be happy to guide you.
After a chat about your previous experience, and wishes, we will plan the day accordingly.
During the day we will practice the skills required in the context of the climbs we do; however the emphasis is to get you out and having a great time on the rock.
