Sentinel Rock Multi-Pitch Climbing Experience

Overview 

This 100m high, barrel shaped buttress guards the entrance to an impressive 1.5km meltwater ravine. Made of the highest quality micro granite, this is a must visit crag for those operating at the grade. A beautiful walk in through a river valley leads to the crag past short waterfalls. The sunny boulders at the bottom are great for spotting sunbathing Adders!

 

Wonderful, magic, rough, sparkly rock!

Additional information 

Single day experiences typically start at 9am and finish at 4:30pm. Please note that remote crags or long routes require the experience to start earlier and finish later than this. You may climb one long route or several shorter routes in a day, dependant on ability and time. You will be guided on the routes by an independently qualified, fully insured and competent Rock Climbing and Mountaineering Instructor. The instructor will choose routes based on your experience, fitness and preferences and will aways try to give you several options. All climbing equipment required for the route and instruction on its use is included. Clients may use their own equipment following an inspection by the Instructor. Clients must ensure they bring appropriate clothing as listed on our kit list page.
