Scale To New Heights And Enjoy The Thrill Of Climbing In Worcestershire

Whether you are on your own or in a group, a taster session is the perfect way to try out climbing in Worcestershire. Climbing centres offer several challenging indoor rock formations for beginners and the adventurous climbers.

Professional instructors will fit your harness and start you on an easy route to gain confidence. You are encouraged to look for handholds and foot placements. You will also be taught the basics of tying-on, belaying and the climbing calls needed to communicate with your climbing partner.

On the flip side there’s bouldering, you don’t really need anything to get started. You will need chalk (for sweaty hands) and shoes (for getting your toes into ridiculous cracks). You don’t even need to buy climbing shoes: every indoor climbing centre will allow you to hire some.

If you are looking for a new adventure the Wyre Forest Leisure Centre in Kidderminster has a fantastic 10m high climbing wall with over 80 routes for you to try from grades 3 all the way up to 7c! So whether you’re taking your first steps up the wall or are a seasoned climber they have something to keep everyone challenged and having fun.

You can’t beat abseiling down a sheer face or gentle slope. As you descend you can marvel at the stunning views.
