Climbing

We have 20 heavy duty plastic crates that can be used for crate stacking/climbing. Please note this is a self led activity and you will require your own instructor who is competent enough to confidently set this activity up. Crate Stacking/Climbing is classified as a High Ropes activity and you must follow the relevant factsheet from The Scouts.

The crates can be hired and used for a crate stacking activity with:

• Our Mobile Climbing Wall (provided you have an artificial top rope climbing permit or higher) or;
• Our Mobile Climbing wall while at Queen Charlotte’s Wood (provided you have an artificial top rope climbing permit or higher) or;
• As a temporary High Ropes activity at Queen Charlotte’s Wood on the Three Oaks campsite (provided you have a natural top rope climbing permit or higher).

If hiring for Crate Stacking at QCW, the crates come with the following equipment:

• 2 Belay points (11mm Slings, 2 x Canvas rope protector, 2 x Carabiners)  – one for belaying, another for pulley system. These are in situ on the tree that has been designated suitable by a competent person.
• Lyon Climbing Ballast Bag with sand & DMM Shadow HMS Screwgate Carabiner for securing the belayer
• Petzl GRI GRI belay device & DMM Belay Master Carabiner for belayer
