Junior Climbing Discovery – Almscliffe

This event is perfect for young adventurers aged 8-16 who want to experience bouldering, abseiling, and climbing at one of the best venues in Yorkshire. We’ll cover a variety of different climbing styles, from easy angled slab climbs to steeper routes and interesting features on rock.

Confidence-Building Activities: Before we start climbing, we’ll have confidence-building activities on boulders and small rocks to help develop your movement on gritstone and build your skills. These activities are designed to boost confidence, making you feel more comfortable and prepared for the climbing challenges ahead.

Climbing Styles: During the event, we’ll cover a variety of different climbing styles, bouldering, roped climbs and an abseil. Whether you’re a beginner or have some climbing experience, we’ll have something for everyone. Our instructors will guide you through easy angled slab climbs, steeper routes, and interesting features on rock, giving you the opportunity to challenge yourself and reach new heights. After some bouldering and a few roped climbs, we will then learn to abseil for a different kind of challenge.

This ensures that we can provide you with the right size equipment, making the experience more comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.
