 | Rock Climbing and Abseiling Call us on 01978 861912 for more information or email sales@proadventure.co.uk Rock Climbing is a traditional yet fast-growing indoor and outdoor sport. All of our friendly, fully qualified instructors are dedicated climbers, and they will help you to reach your full potential. We have a variety of crags within a few miles of Llangollen, offering a wide range of climbs, and Snowdonia is just a few miles away, with many classic climbing and mountaineering routes to offer. What better base for your climbing adventure? The emphasis is on having fun and getting a buzz in total safety. Those scared of heights will always be encouraged, never forced. All outdoor climbing sessions our run by an SPA or higher qualified instructor with a current first aid qualification.
Rock Climbing and Abseiling Taster There is no better way of trying out climbing than our half day taster session. Your experienced instructor will get you kitted up, then warm you up with some low level bouldering. This is where you will learn how to move about on the rock, weight transference and how to use your legs more effectively. Next you will be shown how to belay (control the rope) and then you will be climbing on some of the classic beginner routes in the vale of Llangollen. These routes will allow you to practice what you have learnt while bouldering. After bouldering we will finish off with some abseiling the classic way to get down the cliffs.  For some, a half day climbing can start a lifetime of pleasure and excitement.

Discover Rock Climbing and Abseiling Day  A great day on the rock, with time for lots of climbing and bouldering, and with a little abseiling thrown in too! We will start off by introducing you to the techniques that are needed to climb efficiently. Taught while bouldering (low level traversing), which will include, body position, balance, weight transference, reach, hand and feet placements, smearing, mantle-shelving etc. Then onto climbing with ropes, utilizing your new knowledge we will get you up plenty of climbs, looking at using technique rather than pure strength to get to the top. You will also learn how to belay (control the rope) as that is an important part of going climbing. We will use different locations throughout the day, so that you get a feel for different types of climbing. As we change the routes being done, you will be introduced to the rigging and the knots and equipment used.  The emphasis on this day is to get you climbing, climbing, climbing, but with enough knowledge that you could enter into t he sport and have a basic understanding. This is a favourite part of our multi-activity week and a popular group day at the weekend. An instructors favourite day out too. Adult £90pp

| Lockwood's Chimney - a taste of Mountaineering!
The alternative climb and abseil, in a mountain atmosphere on an historic route. The Rev. Lockwood chose it well for this is a classic, a grand approach, a devious route, and a big abseil. This is an activity day no one should miss.
Traditionally climbed by a full moon in evening dress after closing time we break tradition and use daylight and ropes.
After the approach through the woods we grab a bite to eat and set off up the first section of ledges and easy cracks leading to the crux. A few people have trouble, but a quick pull on the rope from above gets everybody up. This vertical section (photo) takes us to a series of ledges going back into the mountain to an easy climb back into daylight. The view from here is spectacular with the river 100m below and woods and mountains all around. Here we set up the ropes for a 50m abseil to the ground for a late lunch. After recovering the ropes we walk back to the lake and return to Llangollen just in time for tea.
