Our most popular activity is Rock Climbing with abseiling. If you are looking for an exciting way to fill your weekend, then this taster session is perfect for beginners who are keen to try both activities. You’ll begin the day Rock Climbing, and finish with an abseil.

Accompanied by an experienced, qualified instructor, you will head to a peak district crag where we will provide you with all the equipment you need and full safety instruction. Then it’s up to you to climb as high as you like, and take your turn learning to belay (that is, keeping your partner safe whilst they climb). By the end of the session, you will know why we love to climb, have learnt a little, and (hopefully) whet your appetite to climb more.

If you’re looking for a birthday treat for a loved one, to introduce your kids to the thrill of real outdoor rock climbing, or just want someone to keep an eye on safety whilst you practice your climbing technique, this session is the perfect choice.

Abseiling can get you out of some tricky situations and be a lot of fun, but it can also feel scary, and you’ll need to overcome your fears if you’re going to lower yourself off the edge of a cliff and safely down to the bottom. If you enjoy the mountains and want to try something new, or are looking to overcome your fear of heights and test your mental strength, adding abseiling to your climbing session is for you!
