Who is this course for?


This course is designed for young climbers with little or no prior experience, as well as those who have climbed indoors and are eager to try outdoor rock climbing. You’ll have the chance to explore a variety of techniques and climb on real rock, an experience that's hard to replicate indoors.


Course Structure:


Day 1: The first day of the course covers everything you need to know to climb safely outdoors. You'll focus on building confidence, developing essential climbing techniques, and becoming comfortable with the natural rock environment. It's a perfect introduction to outdoor climbing for beginners.


Day 2: With an additional day, you'll gain even more climbing experience. Our instructors will introduce you to advanced climbing techniques, many of which are unique to outdoor environments. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn additional skills like abseiling or explore the wide range of climbing equipment used by professionals.


This course is perfect for both beginners and those looking to refresh their outdoor climbing skills.

  • The physical and mental benefits of outdoor activities are numerous and well documented, we firmly believe that those benefits should be available to as many people as possible.

  • If you are interested in experiencing any of our activities but feel unable to do so then please contact us to discuss your specific needs, we will always try to find a solution that works for you.

  • There are a range of simple adaptions we can make to our scheduled courses such as choosing venues with minimal walking or easy access to toilet facilities, providing cold storage facilities for temperature sensitive medications, allowing additional time or arranging for participants to be accompanied by a trusted aide.

  • When participation as part of an open group isn't appropriate we can arrange private tuition. This allows for a more tailored approach and a much wider range of adaptions such as assisted climbing and abseiling techniques for participants with significant physical or mobility issues.

  • If private tuition is unaffordable then we can sometimes offer subsidised places to bring the price back in line with our scheduled courses .These are provided by the Pure Outdoor Foundation whose goal is to bring as many people as possible into the outdoors, please enquire about availability.


  • Clear communication before the activity is crucial so, as well as telephone and email conversations, we can also arrange to meet participants directly at a venue days or weeks beforehand to identify any specific barriers and begin addressing any anxieties.
