Climb 30 meters up Avon Gorge's "Idleburger Buttress," enjoy epic views of the Clifton Suspension Bridge, then abseil down! Perfect for beginners and pros.
30 meters doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you start to get views of the Clifton Suspension Bridge, you start to realise it’s quite a long way to the top.
WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
Rock climbing. There are a number of routes you can take up the wonderfully named “Idleburger Buttress.” Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced climber, it offers challenges for both. There will be six of you in the class, and the experience takes 3.5 hours, which includes your safety briefing, kitting up and dekitting. Everything you need will be provided, and if you need rock climbing shoes, let them know the size before you get there.
A clothes list will be sent through before the day. Nothing tricky, they just want you to be comfortable.

This really is where your adventure begins, and the team wants you to love rock climbing as much as they do. This can become quite an addictive sport, and encouragement from a calm, supportive professional at the start is important
