Do you want to learn to climb or have a go and find out what's it all about? Then join us for 2 packed days on this beginners rock climbing course in Snowdonia.

You'll start at the beginning with the equipment you'll be using, before moving onto some local rock. You'll learn about movement on rock, essential knots and belaying as well as having some fun climbing!

This prepares us for Day 2, where we move to one of Snowdonia's mountain crags for a taste of multi-pitch climbing, where we climb more than 1 rope length. This will involve learning about stance management and taking out rock protection as a second climber.

You'll enjoy 2 great days of climbing in Snowdonia and come away with new skills, a new hobby and some great memories.

Previous Experience

No previous climbing experience is required. It's also a common belief that you need bags of strength for climbing. At the top levels, yes; but starting out it's not important.
