We have venues that suit all ages and abilities, from the valley crags to high mountain outcrops and more challenging routes for the more experienced climber.

Got questions? Read on…
Where is rock climbing based?
Rock climbing is based in Langdale. You will be sent full details on where to meet when you book.
A useful (very rough) postcode for planning purposes is LA22 9JU, but please be aware that this covers a large area and therefore using Sat Nav programmed with this postcode can often be unreliable.
We also have a venue that is in the north Lakes, close to Keswick. If you would like to book this venue instead then please contact us and we will check availablity for you.
What ages can rock climb?
Anyone aged 8 and above.
Any group members under the age of 18 must be accompanied by their parent(s) or legal guardian. Sorry but uncles, aunties, grandparents, family friends etc are not classed as legal guardians.
How high and how hard are the climbs?
The climbs are about 10m high and they vary in difficulty from super easy to super hard. This means that we can tailor the session to fit with the abilities of any group.
How fit do I need to be? Do I need experience?
There is a short walk uphill to where we climb. Climbing involves pushing with your legs and pulling with you hands to make progress, so a reasonable level of fitness will help, but it's not essential.
You don't need any experience.
Are there any size and weight limits?
There is no weight limit but we do have a maximum waist and chest size, as our safety kit will not fit a person larger than this. These sizes follow.
Maximum waist size: 150cm
Maximum chest size: 152cm
If you have any concerns, please contact us.
What kit will I need?
We will share a kit list with you when you book, but all you really need are warm and waterproof ‘outdoor’ clothes and footwear. We will provide all safety equipment such as harnesses and helmets.
Do you take photos?
We take loads of photos and we share them with you for free.
