Great outdoor climbing experience. Rob was really nice and helped me feel safe and confident. Some very nice and varied climbs with just the right amount of guidance. Would highly recommend and I know I will be back.
Great day out for new and experienced climbers wanting to try it out or looking for pointers.

Me and my family did the Avon climbing and was amazing. Really helpful coaching for me and my partner and patient with my 4 year having a little go. Also rob called us to see if we wanted to mover our booking to the morning as the Craig gets very hot in the afternoon and would not have been as enjoyable. The local knowledge and expertise worth every penny.
A great intro to rock climbing

A really fun morning climbing for the first time. Rob was very patient with us all, including the kids and gave great advice to help us get to the top (or nearly in some cases). Definitely recommend this experience.

Rob is fantastic. Knowledgeable, experienced and calm. He gave my son (13) excellent coaching and a wonderful climbing confidence boost. This was his first try at climbing outdoors after going to an indoor club. We lucked out with the weather and I sat in the shade watching all the rocky problem solving. Would heavily recommend Rob and this climbing session.

Amazing and knowledgeable instructor The instructor was very friendly, knowledgeable, and reassuring, Rob gave me a lot of personalized tips for climbing, confidence building, and more, I felt privileged to be part of this afternoon event and thank you so much again! It’s a huge rock face and impressive, and its quarried history makes it really unique specifically as a Bristol experience. There is a river path where you can also walk or cycle with the view of the iconic Clifton suspension bridge.
