Outdoor Rock Climbing Bookings
We run outdoor climbing sessions from April – to October every year. Sessions can be booked in at reception and can be booked in for a time that is agreed by both parties.

We are familiar with the venues that we take you to but however sometime for unforeseen circumstances for example fallen rocks or too many people there we will promptly relocate to a different venue.

During outdoor bookings, we are responsible for the climbers and anyone under the age of 18’s, must have an over 18-year-old guardian present, we are not responsible for any additional spectators and we do specify that venues are not suitable for additional spectators.
Individuals taking part and accompanying guardians of under 18’s need to be physically fit enough to walk into the climbing locations, these walks involve small hills and uneven ground and we walk to the venue with a good pace to ensure that we have plenty at the venue when we get there.
Rock climbing is weather permitting, so we keep a close eye on the weather on the run-up to the activity and keep you updated if we feel that we are going to have to cancel or postpone the activity, re-arrangements will be made with it is convenient for both parties. Contact will be via email so please be sure to check your emails.
Rock Climbing sessions can also be tidal, you may want to book a session at a certain location however it could be a tidal location, so please bear that in mind when considering making a booking.
