Climbing and abseiling for outdoor team building
"I had done a bit of climbing before but this climbing activity was great fun as the instructors suggested I tried the challenge of blindfold climbing. My team members guided me up the route with left-a-bit and right-a-bit directions"
Key Facts: Climbing
Allow at least 75mins
Ideal for programmes and group sessions
Suitable for adults and young people
Reasonably physical activity
Once a mobile structure, our climbing tower has now been allowed to root itself deep in the forest! The cylindrical grey megalith reaches skyward from a grassy clearing and the views of the surrounding New Forest from the "summit" are stunning.
There are a variety of styles of hand and foot holds incorporated into the sides of the tower to give several different grades of climbing routes. These progressive routes offer the perfect introduction to climbing and working safely with ropes.
A climbing session is ideal to include in bespoke team development or team leadership programme or as part of a fun outdoor team build or group activity session. Team members must work together to provide the essential safety cover, taking it turns to climb or to belay. Once climbers have reached the top of the tower there is the opportunity to learn a new skill and descend to "terra firma" by abseiling.
Whilst the activity is physical in nature, the routes vary in difficulty and most individuals are able to climb to the top. For the super heroes/more experienced climbers in a group, our instructors can increase the challenge in a number of ways to ensure that all participants are challenged to the limit they set themselves.
Climbing and abseiling for corporate team building and outdoor team building programmes
The session is supervised by fully-qualified instructors at all times. All the participants in the group are fitted with full climbing equipment and are always attached to a safety rope whilst off the ground.
Climbing is suitable for adults and children over the age of 8.
We also offer climbing and abseiling instruction off site on the Dorset sea cliffs or further afield as required. We have the use of a Mountain Lodge in North Wales, where we can run bespoke climbing courses.
