Discover Climbing - Peak District

7 - 9 June 2024

Following the success of our intro to climbing weekend in 2023, we are delighted to announce we are repeating the weekend again for 2024, but with added comfortable accommodation this year!

In June 2024 a group of FWC ladies will visit the beautiful Peak District to begin their climbing journey. Under the expert tuition of instructors from Climb 2 Recovery, participants will experience a relaxed introduction to the basics of climbing, and the time, space and support to practice it. Staying at the lovely Thorpe Farm bunkhouse, the weekend is sure to be a perfect balance of challenge and relaxation.

If this is the challenge for you… please see the FAQs below for more information and how to apply.
