Climbing Club

WainstonesThe club provides an opportunity for those with a passion for rock climbing and mountaineering to take their skills to a new level. Almost all outdoor climbing is done by simulated lead climbing until they are ready to start lead climbing themselves.

On wet days, the indoor wall is used to improve climbing technique, ropework and  learn self-rescue techniques. There is a termly trip to the Lake District where they have an opportunity to climb bigger multi-pitch routes in a mountain environment.
