A few weeks ago we were able to take out a family of three to have a go at bouldering at Padley Gorge and to road test our guidebook, Adventures for Kids. Despite all three of them being new to climbing and having some understandable nervousness, everyone had a great day and made firm promises to go back and to keep using the book. Brilliant news! You can read all about it online at Boom magazine, and by getting hold of a free copy of the magazine in and around Belper, Derbyshire.
After a long period of hard work, we've finally got our new guidebook ready and you can get your hands on it by ordering through our shop, or buying from one of our usual partners. It's a climbing guide book for children and has all the information parents need to get out there, have a go safely and get back in one piece. Features lots of photos of other children in action and all boulder problems and routes have been tested by youngsters of various sizes, which means they're definitely possible but the grading might be a bit off.
Finally released in September 2022, Gritstone Circuiteering Volume 2 builds on the photocopied notes and rumours that made up Volume 1. Available in the full sized standard paper version with all 10 circuits and on weather resistant paper for the first 9 rounds. Click for more details.
Two colour t-shirts to tell your friends how much you love circuiteering! Featuring everyone's favourite piece of gritstone, Burbage North.
Available in our shop in limited numbers.
