Wales has an abundance of picturesque and spectacular scenery. We have the mountains of the Brecon Beacons and the spectacular Snowdonia National Park. The valleys of the South Wales have their own unique charm, with the land being reclaimed by nature following the demise of local industry. Also being a peninsular our beautiful coast line is well worth exploring.

Rock Climbing
Introduction to Rock Climbing
Rock climbing is an exhilarating, challenging and confidence building activity; it is about pushing ones limits by setting and achieving individual goals. We provide a safe and controlled practical environment, where clients are taught the basic skills required to develop into a competent climber. All activity is under the direct supervision of our excellent instructors. You will cover basic rope work, equipment selection, choice of venue, bouldering, top roping and single pitch climbing.
Indoors
Rock climbing is no longer an activity restricted to sunny days and day light hours. We use several indoor climbing facilities to teach both basic and advanced techniques. Indoor sessions are available for those we wish to climb purely on artificial walls, introduction courses, as part of a specialist course, or for simple taster lessons.
Outdoors
Climbing outdoors is a completely different experience to an indoor artificial environment. You really appreciate the feeling of exposure, and the natural features of the rock face. Climbing on a natural crag is not solely for the expert. Beginners, novices and intermediates all enjoy participating in the purest form of the sport.
Abseiling
Using a rope to descend the rock face, or suspending your self under a bridge and controlling the rate of descent provides an incredibly exhilarating experience. Abseiling can be incorporated into a normally days rock climbing or as a stand alone activity. We use several venues locally of varying heights, for both free fall and walled abseils.
International Ventures
Wet and Wild Adventures offers clients the opportunities to experience the thrill of the outdoors across the globe. We organise and run activities in different countries and each trip is tailored to the client group. Also activities courses are run on set dates for individuals who may not be part of a group.
Adventure Activities
The following pursuits are usually incorporated into multi-activity weeks and
weekends but can be stand alone adventures.
Gorge Walking/Coastal Traversing
Possibly one of the most popular things we do. A spirit of adventure takes over
the group as you cross-streams, jump into rock pools, slide down waterfalls,
scramble through narrow gorges this adds up to one exhilarating experience.
A coastal version of gorge walking, the fun starts where the sea meets the rocky
outcrops of the land. We traverse across the deep rock pools through sea caves
and over the rocky coastline giving you an experience you will not easily forget.

climb, scramble and abseil underground. Lamps provided.
