During August 2009 The Castle will be running our "introduction to outdoor climbing" courses. Held at various crags throughout the UK, they are aimed at registered Castle customers that want to experience climbing on real rock for the first time. Experienced Castle instructors will run the sessions, setting up your ropes,providing safety equipment and delivering information on crag etiquette, ethics, safety, guide books and of course, pointers on the the different techniques that you'll require to master 'real rock' For further information contact Dean at or go here to book!

Remember, we don’t just excel at indoor climbing. You can also organise private outdoor tuition for individuals or groups with The Castle's professional instructing team. Whether it’s a personal introduction to outdoor climbing, a birthday treat or the ultimate in team building weekends, we can get you out on the rock amidst the best scenery Britain, France and Spain can offer. From Southern Sandstone in Kent to the magnificent granite towers of the high Spanish Pyrenees, we can design and deliver the definitive in climb tuition and coaching.
