Rock Climbing.

We use a wide range of crags throughout the area. So we could be climbing on different types of rock (granite, limestone, sandstone, etc.) and different lengths of route, single pitch and multi pitch.

Single pitch Crags, (Ratio 1:6 max). Means one rope length or less from top to bottom of crag.

This is ideal for beginners or groups as there are a wide number of routes to try. After gaining confidence on easier routes you can test yourselves on harder climbs or just do lots of easy climbs.

Improvers.

This is the ideal place to learn to lead and second, place gear (running belays), moving outdoors from indoor climbing walls,

Prepare for multi pitch climbs, belays, belaying, rope management, single rope and double rope techniques, self rescue and crevasse rescue.

Multi pitch Crags (Ratio 1:2 max )

Large crags require multiple rope lengths and belaying (tying to) to the rock face en route to the top. We will look at route selection, route finding on large crags, descent options, belaying and rope management on belay stances, change overs, leading through, protecting the leader the second/s and rescue techniques, double rope and single rope techniques.

Why, where and when. Everything you need for mountaineering routes.
