On Land

Climbing

Climb indoor walls or real rock, with kit and instruction included. Indoor climbing walls have routes for every level, and staff will teach you how to use the ropes and belay safely.

Guided days on real rock take you outdoors with a qualified instructor, who handles the safety and picks routes that match your group.
