TYF's Introduction to Rock Climbing Weekend, Wales
Abseiling gently downwards with the sea swirling beneath you. Then a tremendous sense of achievement as you climb back to the top of the cliff. Pembrokeshire has some of the best climbing locations in the UK, suitable for all abilities.
£190 for the two day course
There are two separate weekend climbing course options on offer with TYF. If you have very little or no experience in climbing it may be wise to opt for the Introduction to Rock Climbing Weekend.

You'll also get expert help from an SPA-trained guide, who will get you ready for climbing Porthclais, Porth-y-Ffynnon and St Davids head in no time. Whether you're completely new to the sport, or have limited experience on a climbing wall, this trip will teach you all about the safety and technique involved in climbing the Welsh cliffs. This includes:
• Moving efficiently over the rock through bouldering practice and coaching
