Rock climbing….
Climbing is as much about balance, flexibility and thought rather than pure strength and is a sport open to all. Okehampton is ideally situated as our local crag is within walking distance, there are the large granite Tors on Dartmoor and North Devon with its extensive sea cliffs are only a short drive away. For the complete novice or those with some experience this is an ideal way to safely learn all the basics of climbing and abseiling.
These courses start by using our climbing wall and progress to a range of climbing venues around Devon. Starting with basic rope work, belaying and gear selection leaving plenty of time to put theory into practice. 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, perhaps on a larger steeper rock face. All courses are run by our own experienced instructors and all safety equipment is provided.
Your discovery break includes full board accommodation, all equipment and transport required for the weekend and of course your qualified instructor.
The course commences on Friday at 19.30 with an induction from your instructor and concludes around 16.00 on the Sunday with a debrief.
