Climbing as a sport has something for everyone to enjoy.
Rock climbing develops the skill of balancing mental and physical strength, with the huge sense of personal achievement gained from possibly leading your first route, reaching the top of a tricky boulder problem or climbing a demanding multi-pitch climbing route.
We are in a great position in Manchester, close to the very best single pitch climbing venues found in the Peak District. We are also within an hour and a half of the finest classic multi-pitch mountain climbing routes in Britain - in Wales and the Lake District.
We run most of our beginners’ rock climbing courses at a private local indoor training wall. We will work together with you to develop your skills and confidence by moving outdoors, to offer you the experience and thrill of climbing on real rock, when you are ready for this next challenge.

Indoor Climber
Our Indoor climbing course will help you learn belaying, injury avoidance and climbing movement techniques, together with the skills required to climb independently at your local indoor climbing wall. At the end of your course you will be competent at belaying and tying on to the rope. This course is ideal for those you want to get the basics right before you attend our 'moving on' course, which normally runs from end of March to October.
We have a number of large commercial climbing walls close at hand and indoor climbing is becoming a popular and growing pastime. We are delighted to run our climbing courses at either a purpose built private training wall and at a number of local commercial centres - such as Awesome Walls, Liverpool or Manchester Climbing Centre. No previous experience required.
- 1 day (we also run some of these courses as 2 evening sessions)
