Climb Lake District is set to take place on 25th to 26th September with the Arc’teryx Academy hosting a weekend of mountain skills sessions and fun socialising.
The weekend will have clinics on climbing, mountain safety, wild swimming, trail running, wild camping, yoga and more, offering something for everyone.
To kick off the Arc’teryx Academy: Climb Lake District, event partner, The Epicentre in Ambleside, will feature a movie night on Friday evening, September 24th at 7pm. Entry will be free and more details will be added to the event website on 1st September.
Throughout the weekend, the base camp situated in Langdale at The Sticklebarn, will feature a number of brand and event partners on hand on Saturday and Sunday to provide the very best demo gear available – from helmets to harnesses and shoes and climbing gear – available to test out free of charge.
After a jam-packed day climbing crags, running the trails and swimming the lakes, the BBQ at the Sticklebarn on Saturday evening will be the perfect setting to refuel, catch up with friends and enjoy some downtime.
