Lake District Mountaineering offers a private guiding service for rock climbing all over the national park. For this service we engage local, active and experienced Mountaineering Instructors to support you on your journey and offer a high quality experience for LDM customers.

These privates days work best for small groups and individuals that are looking for a more focussed experience towards achieving a climbing goal or wanting to climb specific routes. 

Our private guided days allow us to focus on you and your climbing partner, this allows for tailored instruction and coaching to take place.

On enquiry we will discuss your objectives and aspirations as well as your experience levels, this will allow for us to create a bespoke programme for you. 

This experience is designed to get you onto the sport climbing venues in the Lakes. 

There has been lots of focus on sport climbing and its development in recent years, with lots of renovation as well as newly bolted areas on slate, micro granite and sandstone. 

This variety of rock means we can explore many different venues, from the coast of St Bees to the slate quarries of Coniston. 

Sport climbing is often a great way to transition from indoor to outdoor climbing. Develop your skills with LDM - either by letting us guide you and put the ropes/quick draws in place or by taking some focussed sport climbing instruction throughout the day.

This includes:

1. Clipping bolts
2. Avoiding back clipping/Z clipping 
3. Threading anchors and lower offs
4. Movement coaching 
5. Lead belaying 
6. Different belay devices their uses 
7. Confidence building 
8. Lots of climbing 

We will match the climbs and venues to your aspirations and expectations - venues we use include:

1. St Bees
2. Runestone Quarry 
3. Bram Crag Quarry 

And more! 

There is a lifetimes worth of climbing just in the Lakes.
