What Can I Expect
Reach new heights when you conquer rock climbing on Dartmoor! These half-day sessions with an experienced climbing instructor will see you scaling some of the granite tors that Dartmoor National Park is famous for.
You’ll meet at a local outdoor shop and cafe in Princetown, in the heart of Dartmoor, before driving to the climbing spot. There are lots of different areas to climb, with varying routes and rock types, so your guide will select the most suitable place to take you.
Kitted out with a harness, climbing helmet, belay device and chalk, your instructor will go through all the gear you’ll be using with you, so you all feel comfortable before starting your climbs.
If you’re out on the open landscape of the tors, these amazing ‘freestanding’ stacks of granite rock are a great way to start climbing and when you get to the top, you will be rewarded with incredible views across the remote and remarkable moors.
Sometimes classes head for the cover of the woodlands, where you’ll find nice crags to climb. As you literally find your feet and hands on naturally-occurring holds on the rock, your confidence will grow and you’ll start to find your technique, all under the watchful eye of your instructor, of course.
Dartmoor for rock climbing and bouldering is a great pick for novices and experienced climbers alike. Book your half-day session and, who knows, it could lead to you starting a new hobby!
