Climb - Wales Weekend
By Arrangement
We love Wales - and the climbing is great
This is a new project for us - when we think new venues we tend to go north but this time we’ve decided to investigate the rumors of the many super accessible crags in the North Wales area.
We have a full recce to check the venues and campsites booked in the diary for April with the trip scheduled in September.
Beautiful surroundings
North Wales - I could insert some wafffle here about steeply sloping mointains of rock and the crashing of waves. If you’re not already aware the Wales is stunning - I recomend Googling it
Ideal for people confident they enjoy climbing
You don't need to own or have any previous skills but having tried climbing perhaps indoors first is ideal

Rock Climbing in the Wales
Great fun with like-minded adventurers
We're centring around two different crag areas over the weekend with a campsite with good facilities bringing it all together.
Plans have yet to be finailsed and the pictures are from our Lakes Venues
Day 1
Day 2
Push your climbing boundaries
in a supportive and adaptive environment
We love taking people further - perhaps you climb weekly indoors, or have tried it at another event or perhaps you haven't realised that rock climbing is open to you.
Come join us to meet people of a similar mindset and learn about some of the techniques and equipment that can take you further in your climbing.
Camp and Chill Nights
Friendly campsite for relaxed down time
We have a great campsite lined up for the nights.
With accessible toilets and showers, use of our camping equipment and a group evening meal, staying over really makes the experience for many.
If you live close by or if indoor accommodation is your preference that's no problem we’ve priced the camping out separately.
Making Camping Inclusive
How we adapt camp to your needs
We can't list everything here but below is a summary of our top enablement tools.
Loos during the day
Those who can't just pop to a bush rest assured we have a collapsible, portable rails and privacy tent.
Loos in the evening
There are two standard accessible showers and one accessible loo at the campsite
Tipi tents
We have big lightweight tipi tents they allow chair users to wheel inside and have loads of head room and manoeuvring space to get positioned right
Raised beds or floor sleeping
We can sleep on a raised bed facilitating easy transfers or floor sleeping. For floor sleeping, we have tiered transfer stools to aid the changing of heights. Inflatable mats and an extra large inflatable mat for people with back problems.
Raised cooking and fires
We have tables for the stoves to enable people to reach and take part in the cooking.
