DATES & BOOKING

The club runs fortnightly during term time on a Wednesday from 5:30pm – 7pm and enables people of all abilities to climb in a safe, supported and fun environment.

This club was made possible by Cumbria Community Foundation through the Young Persons Opportunity Fund – A huge thanks for their funding and support.

Places must be booked in advance as maximum numbers do apply. Check availability and book your place here.

ROCK DAYS

As an extension of the Bendrigg Trust Para climbing Club (term time only) we are running several “Rock Days” from 9:30am – 4pm during school holidays to give you the chance to develop your outdoor climbing skills.
All specialist equipment and transport is provided but you will need some good outdoor shoes suitable for a short walk to the crag on rough terrain.
Exact venues will be decided closer to the time depending on the attendees and the weather. Our tutors will always try to have an outdoor venue but where weather makes this trickier, a different indoor venue such as Ingleton or Kendal Climbing Wall may be used.
You must book your place in advance as maximum numbers apply and please make sure to let us know about your needs when you book.
