Description
Just two hours south of London sits Harrison's Rock, in Sussex.
Located within a scenic woodland, Harrison's Rock offers plenty of great routes for intermediate-level climbers to work both on their technical knowledge and bottom roping (also known as top roping) ability.
On the stunning Southern Sandstone Crags, we will go over all of the necessary skills to set up the ropes and be part of a two-person belay team. However, due to the delicate nature of the sandstone, we will not actually be able to belay down these crags.
After meeting up in the car park, we will make the scenic approach through the lovely woodland and to the crags. From here, we will go over how to set up the bottom ropes and try it out.
We'll finish the day by working in two-person teams and climbing up to the top of the crags.
By the time we're finished with the course, you will be ready to move on to some more advanced climbing. Among the things we will learn and go over are the following:
Equipment selection
Using guide books and route selection
Setting up basic bottom ropes
Single point anchors
Y-Hangs & multi point anchors
Rigging issues / safety
Climbing history / etiquette
Sandstone erosion / conservation

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.
