Do I need previous climbing experience to join a lead climbing course with The Climbing Company?
While it would be helpful, it’s not essential! We tailor any course to the participants, and go at your pace.
What equipment do I need to bring?
At The Climbing Company, we provide all the essential technical equipment for your climbing experience, including ropes, harnesses, helmets, and climbing shoes. All you need to bring is suitable clothing for the weather (think layers for comfort and warmth), food and drink for the day, and any personal medication. If you have any climbing kit, you’re welcome to bring it to use so long as it meets our safety standards. Personally, I’d hold off on buying lots of kit before the course so you can use our stuff to see what you like.
How safe is climbing with The Climbing Company?
Safety is our number one priority. Stu holds the highest UK qualification (WMCI – Winter Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor). We ensure that all equipment is of the highest standard, and we adhere to robust safety procedures. You’ll receive a thorough safety briefing before you start climbing, and throughout the day, we’ll make sure you feel confident and safe. We’ll get you fully involved with the safety process and decision making to aid your development.
What happens if the weather is bad during my course in Pembrokeshire?
Pembrokeshire’s coastal weather can be unpredictable, but we monitor conditions closely to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. If the weather isn’t suitable for outdoor climbing, we will either move to a sheltered indoor location or alternative climbing site. Occasionally a delayed start and late finish pay off! We pride ourselves on being flexible and ensuring your safety, so we always have a backup plan if needed. Lots of learning can still happen in the rain!
Can I book a private climbing lesson with The Climbing Company?
Absolutely! We offer both private climbing lessons and group courses. Private guided climbing days are tailored specifically to your goals, experience, and pace, allowing for a more personalised adventure.
Is transport included?
We arrange to meet you at a carpark close to the venue for the day, maximising time out on the crag. If you’re travelling by public transport we can advise where to stay either close to the venue or so we can car share.
Where is the course based?
We will pick a location based upon where you’re staying in Pembrokeshire and what sort of routes we aim to do, but the ideal locations are St Davids or Tenby.
