Description

Lying along the banks of the Wye River in south-central England, the Wye Valley is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and boasts some excellent rock climbing opportunities.

After meeting up Symonds Yat, a picturesque little village in the Forest of Dean, we will go over our plans for the day before heading out onto the rocks.

Our climbing will take place on the walls of the limestone gorge that surrounds the river. At various points on the trip, we will enjoy stunning views of the dense native woodlands that surrounds us.

There are a range of routes up which we may climb. Where we head depends on your previous experience, although both novice and advanced climbers are certain to find routes that they love here.

Each day will be split into two climbing periods, separated by lunch. The length of each part of our day will depend on what we decide to do.

Among the topics that we can go over as we climb are belaying (depending on experience), equipment selection, climbing techniques and etiquette, bouldering, abseiling and route selection with a guide book.

In the evening, we can unwind in the lovely little town of Symonds Yat and eat some dinner (and have a pint) at the pub (not included in the trip price). On or off the rocks, we’ll be having a great time!

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this fun and scenic 2-day rock climbing experience and course in the stunning beauty of the Wye Valley!

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
