Course Overview
Rock climbing is fun, safe, exciting and challenging. The Peak District offers some of the best rock climbing in the country with thousands of different routes to try between 8 and 20 metres tall. With so much rock to pick from we can always give every member of your group the appropriate level of challenge from easy to outrageously difficult. It really is up to you.
You'll start by learning all the essential skills to keep you safe and then it's up to you to climb as many routes as you can. There will also be the opportunity to try abseiling for anybody who likes the idea of walking off a cliff backwards!
This activity can be run as a morning or afternoon session to give you the opportunity to add another activity for a full day of adventure.
Course Outcomes
- Challenge yourself and your friends
- Learn a new skill
- Climb several routes on outdoor rock
- Have a great and exhilarating time in the beautiful Peak District

ARRIVE AT THE ADVENTURE HUB
Your instructor will welcome you and discuss the session over a great cup of fresh Italian coffee or tea. Alternatively, if it suits your itinerary, we can arrange to meet you directly at the climbing location.

You will be sized up for helmets, rock shoes and harnesses. All you need do is check you have snacks, a drink and clothing that is suitable for the conditions.
TRAVEL TO CLIMB LOCATION
The exact location will depend on the weather and the aims and abilities of the group. Typically this is a 15 minute drive from The Adventure Hub. We tend to ask groups to car-share to minimise environmental impact and pressure on car parking spaces.
PRACTICAL CLIMBING SESSION
Your instructor will demonstrate and explain the basics of the safety system and give you a chance to practise tying in and belaying each other. It's then up to you to climb as many routes as you can, find out who the real hero of the group is! There will also be the opportunity to try abseiling if you are keen.
