Rock Climbing in the Peak District
Many of our rock skills courses are held in The Peak District because it is one of the best venues for learning to climb in the UK. The single pitch gritstone edges provide 100’s of top quality routes and the easy access enable us to cover lots of ground.
Our instructors and guides are chosen for their depth of local and international experience and their aim is to maximise the amount of time that is spent on the rock enjoying the climbs.
Take the first step towards climbing outdoors. We will spend an enjoyable day climbing routes and learning some basic skills.
Spend a weekend on the rock being introduced to all of the skills required to climb single pitch rock routes. Grading, choosing routes, hardware, ropework and seconding are just a few of the topics covered.
Having top roped and seconded routes, move on up to leading your own. We will cover all of the skills required to lead a single pitch route and support you during your first few leads.
