Junior Rock Camp Sessions

We're delighted to bring back our Rock Camp Sessions for 2024! These sessions will take place at Horseshoe Quarry and North Berwick Law and are one day events for climbers aged 13-17 who are leading 6a or higher indoors and wanting to improve their knowledge of techniques for sport climbing. For 2024 we're also including a day for University students on 30th June.

April 29 2024

Join us to discover essential techniques for safe sport climbing with the opportunity to grab some top tips from climbing coach Ian Dunne and members of our Pro climbing team... each session will have a different team member attending but expect appearances from Steve McClure and Neil Gresham.

The main aim of the sessions is to educate young climbers and their parents/guardians in safe techniques for sport climbing and to give an opportunity to chat to Petzl team members. Every young climber attending the junior sessions must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

We plan to run 3 sessions this year and places for each are limited to 6 young climbers with an accompanying parent/guardian, places are £20 (no fee for accompanying adults on junior sessions)
Our University student session will be limited to 8 places.

30th June - Horseshoe Quarry, Peak District. For University students.
7th July - Horseshoe Quarry, Peak District. For 13-17 year olds.
20th July - North Berwick Law, Scotland. For 13-17 year olds.
