Enjoy a fun half day clinic, where you will get the opportunity to try outdoor rock climbing for the first time. With our basecamp at the 'Sticklebarn' in the Great Langdale Valley, its difficult to imagine anywhere more beautiful to learn the basic skills, safety considerations and enjoy the movement of rock climbing outdoors, under the expert supervision and instruction of experienced and professional instructors and Guides.
The beginners clinics will run

We would all like this event to be as Covid Secure as possible.
Even though all the clinic's will be outdoors, can we kindly ask each person attending to complete a Covid test at least 72 hours before arriving.
Even with a negative result, if you do have any Covid related symptons then please don't come, and we'll welcome you back next year - Many thanks
