Rock Climbing Days
Ingleton
Start your climbing journey or just have an awesome day out
No experience necessary
This is the perfect way to get started climbing - perhaps you fancy a new hobby or perhaps you just want an interesting adventurous day out
Beautiful surroundings
Overlooking the valley, the climbing venue is in a stunning location, where you can spend some of your off-the-rock time soaking up the atmosphere
Easy access and facilities
We love Ingleton for people's first climbing crag. It's easy to get to, has a great view and has a climbing wall within walking/rolling distance to practice at first. For essential chair users, both the climbing wall and the crag can be climbed directly from your chair.

Rock climbing in the stunning Lake District and Yorkshire Dales
Great fun with like-minded adventurers sampling the best of the South Lakes and Yorkshire Limestone
The South Lakes and Yorkshire Dales border is the place to go for lots of climbing because limestone is an amazingly feature-rich form of rock.
The rock is brim full of climbable lines stacked shoulder to shoulder.
Routes are short, easy to protect and quickly accessed. More climbing, more coaching and more fun.
When we meet up we will have a quick briefing and information-sharing session to work out everyone's goals and experience. After a quick review of the systems to ensure everyone is on the same page and we will get climbing.
Often we will have a quick practice indoors if are using adaptive techniques or if the weather is poor.
There will be lots of climbing time and opportunities to push yourself and learn, as well as time to sit back and enjoy the routes.
Great accessibility and inclusion
Techniques, equipment and support to empower those living with a disability
Climbing is a widely accessible sport. Protected from above and potentially supported from all sides, rock climbing is a sport accessible to essential wheelchair users and people with mobility disabilities in general. We choose Ingleton as our go-to first climbing venue as the access is fantastic to the bottom of the climbs and has both opportunities for indoor and outdoor climbing.
For those living with other impairments climbing is a great sport and we can enable our clients with radio guidance and climbing alongside for example, as ways to help you succeed.
Lunch included
And lovely equipment, instruction and any fees
We do a good lunch - our clients keep telling us that.
Plus when you are away from home or busy organising the needs of family members it's just easier not to have to think about food as well.
We pride ourselves on having lovely comfortable equipment - the kind of kit we would choose personally to use.
