Description

This climbing course in Peak District National Park, in northern England, is a great opportunity to give gritstone climbing a try. This national park is trad climbing’s cradle!

The rocks at Peak District National Park consist mainly of the world famous gritstone, a very hard and coarse-grained sandstone. We’ll get insider tips from locals, who will also show us the best routes.

During these 7 days, we’ll cover crack climbing, clean climbing and bouldering. You’ll learn how to tape your hands and the different finger, hands and feet techniques used in trad climbing. Additionally, I’ll teach you everything you need to know about using friends and wedges.

We’ll also boulder at the most beautiful spots in Peak District National Park. And at the end of the day, we’ll go get a drink at the local pub!

Please be aware that this course is not intended for beginners. You need to have some rock climbing experience to participate in this 1-week course. I offer this course in partnership with Wild Country, which will provide you with the climbing equipment free of charge.

Join me for a fun week in northern England and get to know Peak District National Park’s best-kept secrets. It’s a great chance to try trad climbing for the first time. So contact me now and take on this amazing challenge!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
