Rock Climbing

At Hotrockclimbs we offer an extensive variety of rock climbing courses throughout Cornwall. If you are new to the sport of rock climbing or are looking for a specialized introduction, whether it be climbing multi-pitches or learning rescue techniques in a climbing scenario, then we can tailor your course to suit all of your rock climbing needs.

As dedicated climbers ourselves, the team at Hotrocks are aware of the difficulties that arise when training towards your SPA. From a lack of transport to the difficulty in finding an experienced climbing partner, gaining the experience required to sit an SPA assessment can be a nightmare. The guys at Hotrocks can offer you the chance to bash out as many routes as is physically possible while gaining your confidence before going for your SPA training or assessment.

Either a day out with the team where you can focus purely on logging lead routes at some of the best single pitch venues in Cornwall or a day of releasable abseils, rig systems and rope management. Being based in Newquay gives us the great advantage of being close to some of the UK's finest rock climbing locations in Cornwall and the South West.

With a fresh and friendly team with over 16 years expertise in rock climbing instruction, mountain guiding and providing adventure activities for all ages and abilities, coupled with breath taking climbing locations, we at Hotrocks will provide you with a complete professional and highly enjoyable rock climbing adventure!!

Your adventure starts here!
