Rock Climbing
Rock Climbing has become one of the fastest growing sports in Britain. Indoor climbing centres are to be found throughout the country and many people have now tried the climbing wall experience. However, there is no substitute for the real thing! Natural rock presents a very different challenge when the holds are not colour-coded. The experience is enhanced by scenic surroundings with a view that becomes more spectacular with every vertical metre . It's a great activity for developing trust and communication as each team member masters the skill of belaying the climber. You can find photographs and videos of all activity venues here.
Wet Weather Options
In an ideal world all rock climbing is done on warm, dry rock! A few passing showers can be tolerated but continuous rain will usually lead to postponement or an alternative activity. You will be asked to choose your wet weather preference when you book.
We offer morning climbing sessions during the winter months for those prepared to brave the conditions but our general advice is to wait until spring!
Venue
Burrington Combe is our preferred climbing area. We offer six climbs of varying difficulty; they all start reasonably easily but each then presents its own problem to solve with the two hardest climbs having really challenging overhanging sections. The first half of the climbs are all reasonably easy so everybody regardless of age or ability can have a go.
Group Size
Usually a maximum of 9 but we can provide additional instructors to take additional groups.
Ages
Youth groups from 8 years old, but younger children can participate in dedicated family sessions.
