Climbing with CBA

Climbing Sessions for all abilities

We provide introductory lessons in climbing and abseiling using qualified instructors who are there to show you the ropes.

Climbing is a great activity which gives you great views and a workout at the same time. You don’t need to be particularly strong, your qualified instructors will show you correct movement for saving your strength. A large part of climbing is using your legs and balance to help you progress not pulling yourself up a rock. You can try this exciting sport with us in the breathtaking backdrop of sea cliffs or the mystical Preseli mountains.

Our climbing sessions are ideal for all ages and abilities, and due to the natural venues we use each session will contain both climbing and abseiling. You don’t need any previous climbing experience, but even if you have climbed before in a indoor wall this is a nice way to experience real rock.

Locations

Our most popular location is at St David's Head in Pembrokeshire, with stunning views and amazing walks you can't go wrong.

The second location is within the little town of Llandysul and is an inland climbing crag surrounded by the forest and next to the river Teifi.

What's involved in the session?

• Basic rope work skills like connecting yourself to the rope. But don't worry we can do this for you and we will always check your knots.

• Belaying a partner ( controlling the safety rope)
• Correct climbing style, balance and movement
• Abseiling (that’s coming down the rock)
• The venues we use are selected to provide you with an excellent introduction to this exciting sport. All equipment is included and all our climbing staff are climbers, so you’re in safe hands.

Suggested age 6+ but you will know your little ones better

Questions and answers

Can we do the Activity in the rain?

Yes - its just water, a lot of the venues dry quickly so if its rained leading up to the session it will be ok. If there is forecast rain we will contact you to arrange either another time or different activity so as not to disappoint.

Can we change our Activities?

Yes, you would just need to let us know in advance, and the more notice you give us the more flexible we can be.

Can I wear contact lenses or glasses?

Yes: Glasses can be worn but its best to have a leash attached. If they fall off or get broken we can not be held responsible. If they are important to your driving think wisely before taking on session.

What group sizes can you accommodate?

Large and small groups can be accommodated please contact us for more information.

Do you have equipment to fit all sizes?

Yes - we have a wide range of sizes in all of our equipment. Before you head out on your activities our Instructors will ensure that all equipment fits correctly and they'll make any necessary changes.

What if I have a medical condition?
