Description

Come and climb the fascinating rock formations of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall.

The peninsula is the southernmost point of the UK, and looks out upon the English Channel.

The action-packed day is catered around your abilities, whether you want to make the step from the climbing wall to the outdoor cliff, or want to simply have a go at climbing.

Our experienced and qualified instructors will specify the programme to fit the group, making the peninsula a popular playground for rock climbers of all levels.

The Lizard is deeply rich in natural wonder, from its geography to its flora and fauna.

The fascinating rock formations have intrigued geologists for years. The region is home to the best preserved example of exposed ophiolite, which is a slice of the ocean crust that has been lifted above sea level.

The region is also home to the Cornish chough, one of the rarest birds in England. And the peninsula holds some of the rarest flora in Britain, such as the Cornish heath. There are 600 species of flowering plants here, such account for a quarter of all UK species.

So wherever we are on the peninsula, the spectacular sights will keep us good company along the way.

All sessions include a full briefing of the day’s activities. This is followed by a couple of introductory climbs, then an optional abseil, and finally a full climb to conquer the cliffs.

Get in touch now to reserve your place in the southernmost point in the UK. The Lizard Peninsula offer quality rock for a full day climbing course in Cornwall.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
