Rock Climbing Courses, Snowdonia, North WalesRock Climbing Courses, Snowdonia, North Wales

Snowdonia has a long history of offering quality rock climbing. This is due to the amount and variety of easily accessible rock that is suitable for all levels of climbing ability. The rock routes range from long mountain rock climbs to short roadside rock climbs and sea cliff climbs, all within a short drive from central Snowdonia.

Rock climbing requires good rope techniques and an understanding of the specialist equipment used to make it as safe as possible. This process take a great deal of time to master and on our rock climbing courses we will take you through each of these stages in stunning rock climbing locations.  We also focus on developing your technique, so you can climb to the best of your ability.

We have a no nonsense approach to running open courses - if you are booked on the course, it will be running.  We never cancel a course due to low numbers. We also keep the ratios low, so you don’t need to worry about getting lost in a large group. For you, this means you get as much time as possible with the instructor, and as much out of your course as you want.
