A very wet day forecast in the Lakes, so booked a climbing taster session for 2 children, aged 9 and 11. Both children got plenty of climbs up different routes. They thoroughly enjoyed the session, and the instructor was fantastic with the group.

We did the taster session. Chris showed us how to put the harness on and clips etc and went through all the safety stuff. He was clear and kept asking if we understood or had any questions. Me and my partner were also on at the same time as a family of four and we split into two groups of three. Everyone was so supportive and encouraging. We all had a little go going halfway up the wall and coming back down again. Chris was very accommodating, encouraging and reassuring throughout as I am scared of heights. We all had a go at going on different types/difficulties of walls, we were shown how to balay as well. It was a great experience. I need to work on my strength and then I'll definitely tackle it again! My partner really enjoyed it too.

We had a brilliant session at Ambleside Climbing Wall on a really wet day! We booked for 6 people (4 older teens and 2 adults). We had an instructor led session with Elliott, who was fantastic! He put up with our shenanigans and was lots of fun! T We would highly recommend the session - our group had very limited climbing experience and found the session really enjoyable and left saying they would happily book on again. We would also say that it was worth spending 2 additional pounds and using their climbing shoes. The only thing that could be improved upon would be the fact that the cafe closed at 3pm. That was our fault for not checking cafe times! So either book an earlier slot so you get cafe and drinks or be organised and take your own drinks!
