UK Rock Climbing
Imagine abseiling down a sea cliff and climbing back out with gulls screeching and the sea crashing onto the rocks metres below your feet. Imagine completing your first multi pitch route in the mountains with ravens circling overhead. Imagine climbing on crags where the pioneers were putting up the first routes with just a hemp rope tied around their waist. With DK Climbing you no longer have to imagine. We can guide you on some of the best rock climbs in the UK, and that also means some of the best rock climbs in the world. We know where to find the dry rock, and we will find the perfect routes to give you a huge sense of achievement at the end of every day.
Is there a route that you've had your eye on for a while but you're not quite up to leading? Do you want to push your grade and see what you're capable of? Or do you just want to get out and climb as much as possible? Whatever it is that you would like to achieve, all you need to do is let us know and we will do our best to make it happen.

What's Included
Included in the price is guiding and instruction, and the use of helmets and harnesses if you don't have these. Your guide will provide all ropes and technical equipment so you just need to bring your own personal climbing kit. You will also need to provide your own accommodation, food, and insurance.
Experienced Needed
You should expect to be out in the mountains for a full day, potentially in poor weather, so a good level of fitness is required. All of our guiding is tailored to suit you, so let us know what you've done before and any goals you may have, and we will make sure your days out have the perfect amount of challenge and fun.
Outline for the Day
We usually start our days in summer at 8am, but it could be earlier depending on the weather, location etc. Your guide will aim to meet you at your accommodation, where you will check through kit before heading out into the mountains, and you should be back down by about 5pm.
