Single Pitch Sessions

Single pitch climbing sessions can by done with any level of groups. Different groups require a different type of session according to their level of experience. We've had Beavers doing their first climbs on juniper crag on great towers. This is a small bolted crag in the woods ideal for our smaller climbers. At the other extreme we have had small groups leading their own routes in the Peak District under the supervision of a suitable leader.

Only a 30 minute drive from Blackpool is Denham quarry. This is an Ideal venue for an evening climb for a beginner or intermediate group. Only a little further away we have Anglezark Quarry which has climbs in the intermediate to advanced grades. These are not the only local venues we can visit but are good examples of what's available.
