About the half day taster:

Focusing on either rock climbing or abseiling, this half day taster session will make for a fun morning or afternoon in a beautiful location in South Devon under the expert guidance of a highly experienced instructor.

Here at Rock and Moor we believe in confidence building progressively rather than cramming multiple skills into one half day session. So if you are perhaps a bit nervous at the thought of leaning back we will build on your confidence starting with very low easy angled slopes and work up to a bigger steeper abseil or climb towards the end of the session. Equally if you are quite confident we will build on what you already know, develop your personal skills to move up to the next grade in climbing or towards becoming self-sufficient abseiler.

This course would likely take place at Chudleigh Rocks or The Dewerstone.

Your experienced Instructor will plan and tailor the session to your individuals needs.

  • Abseil or rock climb with confidence
  • Basic knots
