Discover Rock Climbing @ Adventure Okehampton.

Climbing is as much about balance, flexibility and thought as pure strength and is a sport open to all. Okehampton is ideally situated on the edge of Dartmoor. Our local crag is within walking distance and there are the large granite tors for which the

moor is famous and North Devon with its extensive sea cliffs are only a short drive away.

There is a great variety of climbing to suit all. This two day course introduces you to the basic skills of rock climbing. We have our own outdoor multigrade climbing wall allowing development of new skills on site. The 8 metre high wall offers opportunities to practice approaching overhangs, lay-backing and slab routes allowing a linear development of skills starting on the wall and progressing to the rock face.

We also have access to various abseils, one area on site, and another abseil site at a nearby quarry is which is more challenging for adults. On the first day skills are taught and put to use on our climbing wall and a local crag. On day two these skills are further developed, usually on a larger steeper rock face. All our courses are run by experienced instructors who hold Awards from the National Governing Body. All equipment is provided.
