Course Details
Group numbers are kept deliberately small and the programme flexible so that where possible we can tailor the week to suit participants. The week is ideal for absolute beginners and for people with some experience who want to build their confidence.
We have a rich variety of climbing venues across Dartmoor and along the Cornish coast and will be outside everyday.
Your climbing will progress from learning basic techniques in movement and holds to testing yourself on more challenging routes. Power and strength can get you to the top of a climb but it is balance, flexibility and focus that will advance your climbing.
We will introduce the fundamentals in belaying, rope work and safety. By the end of the week you will have been introduced to the principles of setting anchors, route finding, single and multi-pitch climbing. You will also be guided on choosing your own equipment and how to move forward with climbing back home.
Accommodation at River Camp
Each evening you will return to ‘River Camp’ for hot showers, fabulous food and wine. With a burning log fire and open skies it’s the perfect way to recharge your batteries and review the days challenges.
River Camp is a luxurious and secluded camp site set within 50 acres of the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Here you will sleep in safari style traditional canvas bell tents with camp bed, soft mattress and deep duvets.
The Yurt, a traditional Mongolian tent with wooden frame and heavy duty canvas covered dome, provides an inside shared space with wood burner, rugs and carpets.
The ‘Wash House’ provides constant hot water showers and comfortable ‘facilities’.
