Rock Climbing Courses in the Lake District

What Is Outdoor Rock Climbing?

Outdoor rock climbing involves ascending natural rock faces using ropes, harnesses and protection systems. Unlike indoor climbing, outdoor climbing requires additional skills such as anchor building, rope management, communication and decision making in a natural environment. Our courses focus on these essential skills so you can climb safely beyond the course.
