PRICE: See Booking Site
Begin your day by meeting your guide and fellow climbers at the climbing crag. Get to know each other and go over the climbing gear you’ll be using for the day, ensuring everyone is familiar with the equipment. After that, get a brief introduction to the climbing spot, sharing some insights about the routes you’ll be tackling.
Before you start climbing, join a short warm-up session to get everyone ready and to help prevent injuries. Once you’re warmed up, split into smaller groups to begin climbing different routes that are suited to your experience level.
Around 12 noon, take a 45-minute break for lunch. This is a great time to relax, refuel, and chat with your fellow climbers about the morning’s experiences.
After lunch, return to the rock for more climbing. As you gain confidence, explore new routes and challenges. If time allows and the location is suitable, get introduced to abseiling from the top of the wall, giving you a taste of descending safely and efficiently.
By the end of the day, you’ll have covered a lot of ground (and rock!). You’ll have learned essential skills like tying knots, roping up, belaying your partner, and climbing independently in top-rope mode. Plus, you’ll know how to safely abseil with a single rope from any wall—a crucial skill for any climber.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some climbing experience, you’ll leave with a solid foundation of skills and a sense of accomplishment. And, of course, some great memories of a day spent in the beautiful outdoors.
