Discover Rock Climbing & Abseiling

Discover Rock Climbing & Abseiling

This fantastic introduction to two of the old classic outdoor activities will get you in the great outdoors, experiencing the true nature of Rock Climbing and Abseiling. Wales is a fantastic location for adventuring into the wilderness, and this great combination of up and then back down will provide skills, thrills and much more for individuals or groups. Great fun, great exercise and a great sense of reward - tinged with fear / adrenaline!

Agenda

Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre your experience will begin with a safety brief and introduction to the equipment that you are to use. Then, you will learn how to move about on the rock, calculating weight transference and how to use your legs more effectively. Next you will be shown how to belay (control the rope) and then you will be climbing on some of the classic beginner routes in the vale of Llangollen. These routes will allow you to practice what you have learnt while bouldering. After bouldering you will finish off with some abseiling - the classic way to get down the cliffs on this all day experience.

Please Note: You will be required to use your own transport to get to and from the activity sites. If you will not have transport available you must let the centre know AT THE TIME OF BOOKING A DATE.
