Rock Climbing
Adventure Days - Rock Climbing
Rock climbing is a diverse and popular sport, an experience with which is electrifying and unforgettable. It is the perfect opportunity for trying something new or getting to know people while having a thrill!
The Benefits of Rock Climbing as a Team Event
An outdoor rock climbing event is a great way for delegates to experience a new sport and learn new skills while also getting to know fellow employees and all feel they are in the same boat for a day. For those who haven’t climbed before, they will all have to contend with getting to grips with the sport and conquer certain elements of climbing. Additionally, should there be those who have climbed before, they will be able to give advice and tips to colleagues who haven’t had previous experience of the sport and develop their own skills under the guidance of a qualified instructor.
The course will be tailored to the abilities of the group so whether there are people just wanting to get their feet off the ground, wanting to reach the top of everything they climb or, most likely, a mixture of the two your instructor will make sure everybody faces a personal challenge.
The nature of climbing requires that individuals work together- while one person is on the rocks someone else will be holding the rope and, in this course situation, will be supervised by another individual while others can give guidance or suggestions on possible next moves should the climber get stuck or feel they are not sure where to go next.
By the end of the day all participants will leave having had great fun, gotten to know each other better and how each other works, and learnt the basics of an exciting new sport that they may even have enjoyed so much that they decide to pursue it in the future!
Indoor Rock Climbing
An alternative to climbing outdoors and facing the elements is indoor rock climbing- a fantastic corporate activity as it creates the same atmosphere as outdoor climbing but is unaffected by the weather and can run all year round. It is also perfect for ending a business meeting or conference to let everyone have a bit of fun and release some energy. As with outdoor climbing, trust between team members is essential and will naturally be developed. Allow your employees to see each other in a whole new light while reaching goals outside of a working environment.
Rock climbing combines ideally with Abseiling to make a multi-activity event.
