Beginner Rock Climbing in West Cornwall with Kernow Coasteering

Cornwall's stunning cliffs don’t just make for breathtaking scenery — they also offer some of the UK’s best beginner-friendly rock climbing. 
Our Beginner Climbing experience is perfect for anyone with little or no prior experience. Whether you’re looking to try climbing for the first time or just fancy a fun and active day outdoors, this is a brilliant way to get started.
We’ll be climbing on the spectacular granite sea cliffs of west Cornwall, where routes can be found to suit all ages and abilities. You don’t need to be super fit, and you definitely don’t need to be fearless — we’ll take things at your pace, and you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve with the right support. We usually include some abseiling too — a great way to build confidence and add variety to the day.
This course is open to all from age 5+, and is run by friendly, experienced instructors who specialise in making climbing approachable and fun. All technical equipment is provided. If you're curious about climbing gear, you might enjoy our blog on what to buy as a beginner — especially if you think you’ll want to keep climbing after your session.
