The weather was on our side and the school left with glowing faces despite copious amounts of sun-cream. Massive thanks to Edgeborough School for being amazing students and a couple of great teachers, making… Continue reading

Trad Climbing Starter Kit

  By ,
Zach cruising his way through his Rock Climbing Instructor Assessment in Pembrokeshire

So, you’ve taken the plunge to start Trad Climbing! It’s probably going to be the start of a life-long obsession, so you’re going to need some good kit! Go into your local climbing shop and you will be confronted by a vast array of funny shiny metal things, and probably a sales assistant looking to sell you all the latest flashy kit. It can be a bit bewildering, but actually it’s pretty simple if you… Continue reading

Sport Climbing - how would you get your quickdraws back on a steep route like this?!

In this article I’m going to cover what kit you might need if you were starting Sport Climbing. We’ve looked at basic climbing kit in a previous article so I wont go into detail on that here, but rest assured I’m sure what you’ve already got will be more than sufficient for moving to lead climbing at least initially! I’ll drop in any differences as we go along if it’s relevant. There are lots of… Continue reading

Basic Climbing Starter Kit

  By

I get asked all the time on courses “What do I need to start Climbing on my own?”. The biggest thing you need is the basic skills to put a harness on, tie in to a rope, and belay safely. Once you can do all that, and are sure climbing is for you, there really isn’t that much kit you need to start out indoor climbing…. So, once you can correctly answer the usual “tick… Continue reading

Our first day of climbing coincided with the only bit of rain for the week,… Continue reading

Bouldering in Pembrokeshire

I’m not sure if I should let you all in on this little secret, but seeing as the now new-ish (2013) Climbers Club guidebook to North Pembrokeshire reveals much of it, I may as well, it’s not like anyone would come on a bouldering trip over here anyway hey? We have more than our fair share of rock so it’s only right to share the info to some of these magical spots! So, we’ve kept it… Continue reading
