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!

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.
