Excellent intro, great people, brilliant climbing

Cannot recommend highly enough. We've all climbed a little indoors before but were nervous about heading out "into the wild" by ourselves, so found this and it was perfect.
Ben offered us a choice of locations and times, and when we were there he explained everything we needed to know before getting straight into some bouldering.
The positivity from Ben and Naz throughout the day helped us get up some routes we definitely wouldn't have done otherwise, and having someone there who knew the climbs (and down climbs) so well was just amazing.
If you're thinking about booking this, just do it!

Thank you for the kind words Charlie. We loved introducing you to the amazing world out outdoor bouldering!
I am sure we will see you at the crag soon.

Cheers,
Ben

Great day out on the rock

My 'kids' asked me if we could go rock climbing outdoors. We had been climbing before at Manchester Climbing Centre a good while back when they were young. I tried reaching out to a few contacts friends recommended but finding a date that worked was taking some time, with a fair few emails back and forth. A quick google search later and I found the "Introduction To Outdoor Rock Climbing" booking page with Pyschi. It couldn't have been easier booking, with available dates quickly accessible through the store booking page. A few moments later and we were all booked in and ready to go. On the day, we met with our instructor who was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were able to get a range of climbs in that suited the different abilities within the group. The coaching was tailored to each climber which kept spirits high on the more challenging sections. All in all a great day out on the rock. I would recommend :)
