Climbing for beginners & no-longer-beginners!



28 Aug-1 Sep - Peak District Climbing Break
Youth hostel - Anita & Mo - Yorkshire Dales
4 nights full board, climbing gear (ex. shoes): £350

This year the WW climbing break with Anita & Mo is moving to the Peak District - offering 2 levels of instruction for complete beginners to improvers, most of it out on the local crags.

Fuller detail
Climbing on crags.Are you a complete beginner or have you already done some climbing before? This new Peak District climbing holiday with climbing instructors Anita and Mo will cater for both levels. On crags near to Hathersage in the Peak District (& climbing wall in nearby Sheffield if the weather is poor), you will learn how to climb safely: how to stretch and warm up; use of static ropes, a harness, and other climbing equipment; and how to belay yourself and your partner safely. You will develop personal climbing skills to help you move more confidently from hold to hold, and how to abseil back down - all great to learn with other women in a supportive environment. If you have done some climbing before, this holiday will help you gain technique and confidence for harder climbs. Before the end of the holiday there will be an opportunity to learn about different kinds of equipment during a visit to a local climbing shop. For both groups, making new friends to climb with is an additional encouragement to take your climbing further. The holiday is based at Hathersage youth hostel in Hathersage village (10 mins walk from Hathersage station). Group size: 2 instructors to 12 women. Helmets, harnesses, and ropes are included. Climbing shoes are not included since some women may already possess a pair (Trainers are fine, or rock shoes can by bought at a climbing shop in Hathersage if you wish).
