Rock Climbing and Abseiling TasterAbseiling at Trefor Quarry

Rock Climbing is a traditional, yet fast-growing outdoor sport. Come and find out what it’s all about under the tuition of our qualified experts. A half day session will combine both abseiling and climbing and will give you a taste of the buzz the sport can give. For some, a half day can start a lifetime of pleasure and excitement.

We use local crags and quarries for most of our climbing and the views are stunning. The emphasis is on having fun and getting a buzz in safety. Those scared of heights will always be encouraged, never forced.

Explore Rock Climbing and Abseiling 2-day courseAbseiling and Rock Climbing
 

 Well, we can’t promise to teach you everything there is to know about rock climbing, but we can cover all the basics, with both practical and classroom sessions on this great sport.

At the end of the weekend you'll know about climbing equipment, safety, rope work, bouldering, belaying, abseiling, anchors, grading, guidebooks and leading. We’ll show you different climbing techniques such as jamming, smearing, mantle shelving, lay backing and chimneying. We may even teach you how to do a rock-over or an Egyptian.

When it comes to equipment you will learn about, ropes, nuts, harnesses, helmets, karabiners, figure of eights and belaying devices, as well as friends and prussiks.

You will be taught by a qualified climbing instructor on ‘single pitch’ routes on our local crags. At the end of the weekend we recommend that you join a climbing club or return with a committed partner who has also completed the course, for further supervised practice and instruction with your own equipment.

Whilst not a sport in it's own right, Abseiling is a useful skill for any climber, and there will be the chance to have a go throughout the course!

Lockwood's Chimney - a taste of Mountaineering!At the Crux of Lockwoods Chimney

The alternative climb and abseil, in a mountain atmosphere on an historic route. The Rev. Lockwood chose it well for this is a classic, a grand approach, a devious route, and a big abseil. This is an activity day no one should miss.
Traditionally climbed by a full moon in evening dress after closing time we break tradition and use daylight and ropes.  

After the approach through the woods we grab a bite to eat and set off up the first section of ledges and easy cracks leading to the crux.  A few people have trouble, but a quick pull on the rope from above gets everybody up.  This vertical section (photo) takes us to a series of ledges going back into the mountain to an easy climb back into daylight.  The view from here is spectacular with the river 100m below and woods and mountains all around.  Here we set up the ropes for a 50m abseil to the ground for a late lunch.  After recovering the ropes we walk back to the lake and return to Llangollen just in time for tea.

Available on any date for groups of four or more - please call us to check availability!
