Description
Rock climbing is a spectacular pastime, and not solely the preserve of the brave. Climbing truly offers something for everyone, and none more so than those who love to be in the outdoors. There is no better feeling than conquering a challenging route before taking a minute to absorb the idyllic charm of the place in which you find yourself. If you love being outside, and enjoy a challenge that is both physical and mental, rock climbing might just be for you.
The Rock Climbing Experience lasts for three hours and takes place at one of Northumberland’s many superb sandstone crags. The focus of the session is on climbing, rather than learning the ins and outs of ropework. If you would like to learn the skills needed to climb safely; belaying whilst using a bottom rope system, please look at our Climbing Skills course.
What equipment do I need in order to take part?
All necessary equipment is provided free of charge for the duration of each of our climbing skills courses and experiences, both indoor and out. If you have your own equipment, provided it is in good, serviceable condition and falls within its recommended lifespan, you are welcome to use it. If we have any concerns regarding the safety or suitability of any third party equipment, participants may be required to use the apparatus that we provide.
Although advantageous, climbing shoes are not strictly necessary and will therefore not be provided. You are, however, welcome to hire shoes, at your own expense, if they are available at the course venue.

I booked a 3 hour session for me and my boyfriend. Chris took us to Bowden crag, Chris is very patient and encouraging. We had a fantastic day out and are hoping to join one of the crag days out. Would highly recommend
