About Us

The number one place to go to take your climbing to the next level.

Whether you’re an experienced or indoors-only climber, honing skills, or reaching first-time milestones, you’ll find our passion for climbing as invaluable as our experience.

Our purpose

Our purpose has three parts:

• To make climbing easy and accessible.
• To help people climb better, whatever their level.
• To give people the tools to climb independently and safely for the rest of their lives!

Climb easy

Think more ‘all inclusive’ rather than just ‘wall inclusive’. This could be your trip of a lifetime and we’ll do whatever we can to make it as easy as possible. Because climbing is hard enough as it is.

We’re all about subtracting the hassle, so talk to us and we’ll take care of everything: transfers, accommodation, equipment, routes, recommendations, unwinding time, shopping trips, social events.

Your whole holiday experience, in other words. Let’s focus on the climbing.

Climb better

Whatever your level, we can help you reach the next one.

We’re not just expert and experienced climbers, we’re skilled, supportive and patient coaches who love to help people discover what climbing really is.

Every climber is different, which means every trip is different. It helps that we’re passionate about climbing, but it also matters that we love working with people of all abilities. We’re able to mix motivation, instruction, guidance and kindness in the right proportions for all skillsets and situations.

So, if you’re up for it, we can help you to develop your climbing technique and strategies, and really take your climbing up a notch.

Climb for a lifetime

We are rock climbing guides and coaches.

Our aim is to provide you with a climbing framework and toolbox that you can use for the rest of your life. Want to come back for more coaching, to add to that toolbox and sharpen your tools? Great. Even the best tennis players in the world have coaches. We love to see people come back on our holidays, but we also love seeing former customers climbing independently and safely on their own adventures.

Guide someone up one route and they will climb for a day. Teach someone how to climb any route and they will climb for a lifetime.

Our Rock Solid Promise

Life can be tough enough without your holiday being cancelled. Time is precious, time off can be hard to come by, and balancing work and family is rarely simple either. Hence our Rock Solid Promise: once you book it, we guarantee to run it, even with low numbers, even if we lose money. Plus your money’s kept safe and sound in our bonded account until after your holiday.

Book and it will run, with Rock & Sun.
