We run outdoor rock climbing sessions run for both absolute beginners and confident climbers. Sessions run at a range of stunning crags around the Lake District, selected to best suit your groups ability and the current conditions.

GENERAL INFORMATION

For people of any ability level aged 8+, we can get you climbing outdoors. 

​

With tonnes of gorgeous climbing locations across the Lake District, you'll be spoilt by both the view, and by the range of climbing options.
