Beginners rock climbing

Our women only beginners rock climbing courses take place in Cumbria, UK and last for two days.

These rock climbing courses are designed for women who want to learn how to rock climb and feel that it will be easier to have a go in the company of other women.

The course is suitable for anyone who has never climbed before, or who has done a little indoor wall climbing, and wants to try climbing outside for the first time.

Our aim is to make you feel confident and comfortable on the rock so that you feel happy to try harder things as the course goes on.

We start by top-roping some single-pitch climbs, teaching you all the basics before moving onto multi-pitch climbing on the second day.

As with all our courses, we design the days around you and your abilities so we can make the level of climbing as hard or as easy as you wish.
