Rock Climbing Experience - Full Day
Full Day Outdoor Rock Climbing Experience
Experience adrenaline like never before with outdoor rock climbing- this is where the thrill and exhilaration really is at! Gripping onto rocks halfway up a cliff face is a nerve-wracking yet electrifying experience you will never forget. Our full day climbing experience is an extension of the half day experience and builds on the skills learnt from the morning. While the half day experience is a great introduction to the sport and the basic skills needed, the full day climbing experience will really give you the chance to refine your climbing technique and learn more about belaying and rope skills, and is designed to teach you all you need to safely and confidently start this exhilarating sport, whether you just want to try it out or take it up permanently.
You will learn how to belay (safely hold the ropes) for other climbers and how to make the best use of the rock's features for your hands and feet. No matter what your personal ability, our highly qualified and experienced instructors will tailor the course to your needs and aspirations, so whether you want to climb to the top of every mountain or just hope to get your feet off the ground, we will help you get there.
Your instructor will kit you out with all the safety equipment needed for the day including a harness and helmet and will then teach you how to safely belay each other, all the while giving you useful climbing tips and techniques.
You will be guaranteed to finish your day buzzing with a real sense of adventure and achievement when you look back at the climbs you have conquered, and may even be planning your next climbing adventure... Warning: rock climbing can be addictive!
If you don’t fancy a full day rock climbing, why not try our Climbing Experience (Half Day) to get a taster and learn the basics, or our Climbing & Abseiling Combo course to have just as exciting a day while mixing it up a bit!

This was a great introduction to rock climbing. Tom was first class; he empowered us with his expertise & knowledge. It was clear Tom has a real passion and love of the sport. I came away with the knowledge and confidence that I can progress to the next level. I will definitely be signing up to another of Tom's courses in the near future. Thanks for a great day.
