UPCOMING COURSES
OUR PROGRAMME
The Climb 2 Recovery programme delivers activity all year-round, throughout the UK and beyond, providing regular opportunities for adventure, to catch up and have a laugh with friends, to learn some skills and get active outdoors.
Our programme is progressive and supports a diverse community of ability and aspiration - from those who have never climbed before through to increasingly experienced Alpine and high-altitude mountaineers. Importantly though, we have no expectations and there is no obligation for a member to do, be or achieve anything - for some climbing from sunrise to sunset is great, for others just one or two climbs a day is great; either option and everything in-between works for us, we just want you to have fun!
All members begin their Climb 2 Recovery journey via one of our three 4-day Learn to Climb courses in the Peak District each year, thereafter progressive and increasingly advanced courses and opportunities become available - from the Learn to Lead, to Learn to Multi-Pitch, Alpine Climbing, Winter Mountaineering and expeditions. If progression and more advanced courses aren’t a priority for you at the moment - that’s fine, you can always repeat the courses you have attended or attend a course to climb independently.
Our courses are designed to be more than standalone activities. Through climbing, mountaineering and adventurous training, members build confidence, develop new skills and take on meaningful challenges, while becoming part of a supportive community built on shared experiences and mutual support.
