Summary
An ideal starting point for those with little or no prior experience of rock climbing, this is a one day hit. We will be approaching the local outdoor crags with the aim to get stuck into as much climbing as we can manage. The focus for the day will be on trying out climbing but also on learning climbing techniques and rope techniques. Please call to enquire about a bespoke course for your needs.
Pre-Requisites
None
Equipment Required
Most clients bring their own rock shoes. They can however be hired. Please bring suitable clothing that will keep you warm and dry in most weathers and some sturdy footwear for walking to and from the climbing areas. Bring a packed lunch.
Itinerary
9am: Training Centre is open for course participants to come in, grab a drink and get prepared for a 9:30 am start.
9.30am: Briefing
We spend a good 30 minutes ensuring everybody is suitably kitted out with all of the technical equipment they need for the day. We have a good range of rock shoes available in stock and these can be hired for £3 per person per day.
10am: Go Climbing!
Depending on weather, group experience and size of group we select a local crag and jump in the Pure Outdoor minibus and go for it! This could be a 10 minute drive, it could be half an hour. Sometime we need to walk for 15-20 minutes to get to the climbing. Bring some decent trainers or walking boots.
Bring a packed lunch as we have lunch out at the crag
3.30pm: Last few routes!
Time to start packing up and heading back to the car
4-4.30pm: Depending on where we went climbing, we usually head back to the Training Centre for a de-brief, climbing equipment amnesty and another cup of tea before finishing up the course and heading home.
Accommodation Information
This course is non-residential, so if you do not live locally, you may need to arrange your own accommodation.
We have tried to make some good links with local B&B's, Guesthouses and Campsites to give you comprehensive choice when booking accommodation to coincide with your Pure Outdoor course.
This section has been broken down into two sections. Those travelling up on Public Transport and staying in the Hathersage area (we recommend this as it has a direct rail link with Sheffield and Manchester and your course instructor can come pick you up on the morning of the course) and a section for those of you who will be driving up to the course who have a little more freedom.
The Pure Outdoor Training centre is about 4 miles from Hathersage and Bakewell and only a mile or so from the villages of Eyam and Calver.
