Adult Pathway Stage 2 - Learn the Ropes
Want to the learn the ropes?
Run over three two-hour sessions, you’ll learn everything you need to be a safe, competent bottom rope climber. Learning things such as; setting up your gear, tying into your harness, belaying, and of course a healthy dose of climbing technique.
Upon completion, you should be ready to hit our bottom rope walls to test your skills, and take your climbing to new heights.
All required equipment hire is included in the course.
Looking for something more advanced?
If you can already bottom rope confidently and want to try the next challenge, perhaps it’s time you took the next step and learned to lead climb!

Booked the intro to climbing for families to try an activity we could all do. (2 adults, 11 year old and 7 year old boys). Our instructor, Emma, was brilliant and made it fun for us all. Both boys can’t wait to come back!

Learned the ropes here around a week ago! Was both my girlfriends and I first real taste of climbing. The staff were amazing and so helpful in getting us through our course. We had 3 different instructors and each one was just as good as the other. In the end we passed with flying colours and we couldn’t have done it without Harrogate Climbing centres help. They have definitely ignited a passion for climbing in both of us.

It was my first time using a climbing centre but I found the staff very friendly and helpful. The climbing instructor also had a keen eye on ensuring high standards of safety, a depth of knowledge and encouraged throughout. I will return in the future and intend to recommend to friends.

I was there recently with my 13yr old, usually moody and uninterested teen who really enjoyed himself. The staff were knowledgeable and patient in equal measure. The kit was top quality and the session cost was very reasonable would 100% recommend.

12 year old son visited Brimham Rocks for an outdoor climbing day run by Harrogate climbing centre. Climbing was of a suitably challenging nature. Instructors were humorous but also clear and helpful and he had a great time

An excellent place for beginners to learn climbing. Staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, we loved our time climbing and our 6 yr old daughter came out buzzing!

Thank you Dean for an excellent day at Brimham Rocks. You took us out of our comfort zone but we always felt safe. A great introduction to weasling, bouldering and climbing. We’ll be back for more!!!

I took my niece and nephew for an introductory session of 90 minutes and they both enjoyed it. My nephew has been on a climbing course elsewhere and said this was better. Eight in the class, very well instructed, encouraged and coached. 90 mins was about right - any more and they would have been too sore. We used the excellent cafe on site for after-climb refreshments.
