Climbing Courses


A busy few days at Symonds Yat with courses providing an oppurtunity for David, Phillip, Tracie, Sean, Caroline, Ross and Tim to get to grips with some steep limestone - some of it even stayed dry !! with first leads , a big tick ( a long awaited ascent of the Longstone for Caroline ) some challenging climbing in the wet, some complicated ropework, sunshine and rain - we had the lot !!
Thanks to all for an enjoyable few days.

Wye Valley Climbing



A busy week this week with courses running through the sunshine of the weekend and dodging the showers of the week - Tintern Quarry was the venue for Philipp and Rebecca's first sport climbing leads on some reasonable grade F3's and F4's, with the tree canopy of Symonds Yat providing cover from the odd shower for introducing Will and Georgina to steep limestone climbing, shade was also needed as the week warmed up with Charlotte, Emma, Ella and Kate enjoying some long abseils and challenging climbing - we even ended up in a cave at one point to cool down as the rocks seemed to start sweating ! Thanks to all above for having the energy to make the week an enjoyable one.
