ROCK CLIMBING & ABSEILING

The perfect way to spend a day in the great Welsh outdoors!

Rock Climbing & Abseiling takes place on a naturally formed rock face and is a fantastic activity for both kids and adults. Here in the Brecon Beacons, we are spoilt for choice with such a wide range of exciting and challenging climbing routes on our doorstep, allowing us the flexibility to tailor our climbing sessions to suit you. Our Rock Climbing & Abseiling days are designed as a Taster Day and are ideal for beginners with little or no experience, who just want to have a go.

Looking to improve your climbing skills? Get in touch about a Climber Improver Days 01497 847897.



Rock Climbing

Equipped with a harness and helmet, you will be ready to start your climbing experience. First your instructor will introduce you to the technique of Traversing, which will involve moving along the rock wall sideways, just a few inches off the ground. Not only is this a great warm up exercise, this technique is designed to teach you to look at hand and foot placement – a key skill when climbing. Once you have mastered this, you will be ready to put these newly developed skills to the test with a vertical rope climb. As your confidence builds, it wont be long before you find yourself reaching the top, scaling heights you never thought possible and feeling on top of the world!

Abseiling

A Rock Climbing day wouldn’t be the same without a little Abseiling!

Rock Climbing & Abseiling go hand in hand, so once you have confidently mastered the art of rock climbing, your instructor will round off the experience day with an introduction to Abseiling. This time you will start at the top of the crag and you will descend vertically down the rock face, back down to the bottom. Your instructor will ease you slowly into your first Abseil but with more and more practice, you will soon be abseiling down in two or three big bounds! Want a challenge? try it forward facing!


PLEASE NOTE
