Experience The Thrill of Outdoor Climbing in South Wales

Discover the thrill of outdoor climbing in South Wales, perfect for anyone seeking their first rock climbing adventure. While indoor climbing is a great start, experienced climbers will tell you that the real excitement happens outdoors. The natural rock formations offer unique challenges and rewards that you won’t find on an indoor wall. In the Brecon Beacons, you’ll be surrounded by stunning landscapes as you scale natural crags that test your technique and endurance. The quarries of Morlais offer a different, yet equally exciting experience, with their steep faces and striking views.

Your journey begins with a safety briefing from a qualified instructor who will guide you on how to use the equipment before you tackle the 30 to 60 ft crags in the stunning Brecon Beacons or the striking quarries of Morlais in Merthyr Tydfil. Throughout the experience, professional instruction will be provided to ensure you feel secure and confident as you ascend.

What is Rock Climbing in South Wales?

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced climber, South Wales provides a variety of climbing opportunities, with popular spots including the breathtaking Brecon Beacons and the striking quarries of Morlais in Merthyr Tydfil. Climbing in these areas typically involves scaling 30 to 60-foot crags, where climbers can enjoy the challenge of natural rock formations. Unlike indoor climbing, which takes place on artificial walls, outdoor rock climbing in South Wales allows you to connect with nature, offering not just a physical challenge but also the reward of breathtaking views.

We supply premium gear to ensure your outdoor climbing adventure is both safe and comfortable. Our equipment includes a secure harness and helmet, a dynamic climbing rope to prevent falls, and essential tools like a belay device and locking carabiners for rope management. Chalk is provided to enhance your grip, while quickdraws connect the rope to the rock for added safety. All you need to bring is a rucksack for carrying essentials like water and snacks, and a pair of sturdy trainers or boots with good grip.

 Verified Fantastic experience
Excellent experience all round. Andy and the team were super friendly and knowledgeable. We felt in safe hands. Clear guidance and the instructions suitable for all levels. With the weather being so good we got to do more than I expected - climbing into a mine, scrambling up waterfalls, jumping into pools. Beautiful scenery and nice group. Would highly recommend.
