Devons Most Exciting Adventure Centre

What a Bronze package could look like?

A typical bronze package consists of six days of activity. Initially there will be two days of skills training. The first day will be spent learning basic first aid, how to use a portable cooker, packing of a Rucksack, Route card writing and environmental awareness. The second day will be spent with a suitably qualified instructor practicing basic navigation and applying those new skills and role playing emergency scenarios.

These two days will be followed by a practice expedition that will run over two days and will require a night out camping. Teams will work closely with an instructor on the first day but will move to more remote supervision on the second day. Our staff will be on site camping with the groups.

There will then be a final, qualifying expedition. This will also take place over two days and the team will be remotely supervised by experienced instructors throughout. Our staff will be on site camping with the groups.
We are also able to tailor each package to suit your needs and are happy to base each session at locations convenient for you. Feel free to use the contact us form requirements with us.

What people say rock and rapid

"Brilliant fun"

Ladies' Climbing Night

Really good day out and cater for all levels of ability. As complete beginners we were a bit nervous to begin with but soon got up to speed. Very good value for money.

Darren J, Worcester / Indoor Climbing

"Love the inclusiveness of this place"

Learn to climb in 2020

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!
