About

Rock climbing is one of the fastest growing sports and Borrowdale, close to Keswick is the perfect place to have your first experience of outdoor rock climbing as it is close to where some of the first ever rock climbs were completed. There are several popular rock faces that are sheltered and quick drying so that outdoor rock climbing can take place year round. There are a variety of climbs to try as your confidence increases and you will also have an opportunity to complete an abseil back down again. You could even try and emulate a famous local climber who was once bet he couldn't get to the top of a climb in boxing gloves and roller skates! Some of our favourite rock climbing routes are  in Borrowdale, including Little Chamonix, Troutdale Pinnacle and Corvus.

A half day session starts from £150 and full day from £220.

More than Mountains friendly Mountaineering and Rock Climbing Instructor specialise in tailoring days out to perfectly fit your needs and goals. They are incredibly knowledgeable and their passion for what they do is always evident. Alongside our rock climbing and abseiling courses we can also provide scrambling, guided walks, navigation courses, multi-activity days and winter mountaineering days out in the Lake District.
