What You Should Know Before Climbing

Weather in Devon can be temperamental. Ambiguous forecasts are not uncommon, especially at high elevation or on Dartmoor tors and sea cliffs, so be prepared no matter what.

Your Ability
There are easier climbs and harder climbs, whether you are a newbie or a pro. With Adelong’s guided climbs, you can rest assured that you’ll be assessed for ability and comfort levels to take proper routes.

Safety
From correct gear to following routes to climbing techniques, there’s much to consider. With Adelong, you’ll have experienced guides, high-quality gear and safety redundancies to ensure your climb is as safe as it is pleasurable.

Environmental Considerations
There are several climbing locations across Devon that are Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs), so avoid nesting areas, always leave no trace and follow the Devon climbing code.
