Pembrokeshire has suitable climbs for first-time climbers as well as those who know the ropes and want more of a challenge. There are two experience levels to choose from:
DISCOVERY: suitable for all abilities including complete beginner.
Because this is a seacliff location, you can expect to be lowered down the face by the instructor (abseil) and cimb back up to the top – for this reason, the trip requires a degree of base-line confidence and being comfortable with heights, rather than any necessary experience.
