Great fun with like-minded adventurers sampling some Peaks rocks
Were looking forawwerd to welcoming you to our first inclusive peak district climbing weekend.
2 days of tackling the unique climbing the peaks offers.
Were centring on the Roahces climbing area this time. THe Roaches have allot going from them in terms of accessiblity and parking. The climbs are arranged allong a pedestrian track with about 50meters of rough ground btween the climb and track. This is pretty special - to have qulity rock with good route in.
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.
Normally no groups and strict quiet times mean a great night's sleep to play out the next day.
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 Climbing Inclusive
How we adapt climbing to your needs
We can't list everything here but below is a summary of our top enablement tools.
Progress capture
We can adjust the belay system to capture any progress you make so if you gain a centimetre you get to keep that progress.
Effective weight reduction
We can adjust the rope systems so that a proportion of your weight is taken off your hands and feet so you require less power to ascend
Alternative harnesses
We have comfy padded standard climbing harnesses, as well as full-body harnesses, seated harnesses and sling-type harnesses.
Alongside support
We can send another climber alongside to help with positioning or understanding transitions.
Radio headsets
We can talk you through the position of holds and get in the right position straight to headphones or via bluetooth to your hearing aid. This is great for enabling visually impaired people, those who need to focus on a single voice as well as those who would struggle to hear instructions
No fiddle links
We have key lock carabiners for those who may fiddle or try and undo equipment
Back Roping
We can attach a second rope to your back to aid in orientating your body to the rock. We can also use a backdrop to deliver someone with a consciousness-limiting or seizure-causing condition very quickly to the ground.

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.
