This course is the perfect introductory rock climbing experience and is intended for people with little or no climbing experience. Based in Keswick we’ve access to some of the best roadside crags in the Lake District, if not the UK, so you’ll spend the maximum amount of time climbing and the minimum time travelling. Our venues are very user friendly with climbing routes at grades to suit all. Your Keswick Mountain Adventures instructors know the area intimately, we know which routes catch the sun and when; where to head if things are too busy; the ideal routes to select for climbers whatever their ability, and so much more.

In these rock climbing lessons we cover the following:

  • Rock Climbing equipment it’s use and limitations
  • Knots and basic ropework for climbing safely
  • Belaying basics

  • Route finding and grading systems
  • Bouldering (climbing low down without a rope)
  • Basic climbing safety, understanding objective dangers
