North Wales climbing operators

Once you’ve started clambering, climbing and abseiling, you might not want to stop! Here are some of the best venues and teachers in North Wales that specialise in climbing.

Boost your confidence in the great outdoors with the folks at Anglesey Adventures. Their beginners' tuition takes participants around some of the greatest natural landscapes the area has to offer. They also offer courses in sea cliff climbing, mountain scrambling, abseiling and more.

Blue Peris Mountain Centre is an indoor centre with a colourful climbing wall. Aside from climbing, the centre is a starting point for all sorts of activities, from kayaking off the Anglesey coast to abseiling in Snowdonia. For climbing, the instructors give you a harness, some rock shoes, a helmet and all the technical equipment you'll need before showing you the ropes.

This adventure company uses Llanberis in Snowdonia as its base for adrenaline-fuelled fun. Boulder Adventures operates from the Bryn Du Mountain Centre and the Padarn Watersports Centre, and journeys out to graded climbing spots in and around Snowdonia. How about a 100ft abseil or rock climbing around Betws y Coed? Sounds pretty fun to us.

Next to the Slate Museum in Llanberis you'll find Ropeworks, a high ropes and all-round activity centre. Go on an indoor taster climbing session or let them lead you on a mountain route in the great outdoors that's tailored to your ability and experience.  Afterwards, you could take to the high ropes course and giant swing, if you've still got energy to burn.

Safe and Sound Outdoors in Llangollen offer climbing courses, taking place on the nearby limestone cliffs in the beautiful Dee Valley, or on their indoor climbing walls. You can try a half-day taster course, two day beginners course or more experienced climbers can improve their skills.
