Taster Sessions - Rock and Rapid

Want to try climbing?

If you’ve never climbed before – or if it’s been a really long time since you hit the walls – your first port of call will probably be a taster session. We run climbing taster sessions in North Devon on a daily basis for novice climbers who want to give this thrilling activity a go for the first time.

Our climbing taster sessions run over 1.5 hours, with your time split between climbing on the ropes and in our new bouldering centre. Each session is led by one of our qualified instructors, who will introduce you to the basics of indoor climbing while keeping you safe on belay.

All of the equipment you need is included in the price of your session, so just turn up and get climbing!

Due to the nature of roped climbing, the minimum age for a taster session at Rock and Rapid Adventures is 6.

"Love the inclusiveness of this place"

I started climbing here about a year ago and love the atmosphere and people I meet. Ladies might, on a Monday which is run by Simmo has become a weekly must. (the coffee is pretty awesome too.) Great instruction is given on technique including safety) plus games are put together to improve climbing ability. I bring my nieces here and they love it. It’s exercise without feeling like you’re i a gym. I can’t recommend it enough!

"Stag do with a difference"

To arrange a weekend that is a bit different and feels special is becoming harder to do so it was refreshing ti find somewhere that was happy to listen to our thoughts and ideas and let us run with them. Had a fantastic weekend that combined indoor climbing, raft building challenged and a monster design and build task to product a melon flinging catapult in a morning on a budget of £100. All in a really good time had by all with very relaxed and friendly staff. Would recommend for arranging those vents that are a bit more specialised.

"Great rainy day activity for all the family"

As a family of five who like to try new things, I can’t recommend this enough. The staff member who helped us was top class. Friendly, accommodating and keen. Although, we were all at different levels of experience, some of us complete notices at climbing – we all managed to spend an enjoyable couple of hours.
