OUTDOOR ROCK CLIMBING - HALF DAY
EXPERIENCE
4 HRS
Beginner
This outdoor rock climbing experience is aimed at those wishing to try rock climbing for the first time. Although this is not a climbing course it's not to say you won't learn any climbing skills. However, our aim for you is to have fun, climb to new heights and experience the vertical realm. We use several outdoor venues around Wicklow and Dublin, such as Dalkey Quarry, The Rocky Valley, Barnbawn, Carrick Mountain to name a few. Each location offers something different from climbing grades, rock type and emersion in nature. From the Urban quarry of Dalkey to the hidden crags of Carrick mountain, there is always somewhere to explore new heights!
