Peak Lines - Bakewell

We booked a half day family climbing session for 2 adults (complete beginners) and 2 kids (14 & 11) who had only climbed at indoor 'fun climb' type places. Our instructor was Dom and she made us feel at ease from the beginning. We started with an easier climb to learn the basics and my partner learnt to belay. After the second climb it was apparent that the kids needed to be challenged more so Dom set up an additional rope on a much harder rock. We did 4 climbs in total and everyone had a brilliant morning. The session was perfectly tailored to our needs and we would definitely return

I booked a full climbing day for me and my partner, we had Charlie as our instructor. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, he listened to what we wanted from the day and made sure it all happened.

I would highly recommend everyone using this company. We also got to meet Dom the owner who clearly loves what she does and both made us feel like part of there climbing family for the day.

What an amazing day and thankyou to both of you for making it so.

We booked a half day family session during May half term. We were originally booked for 1pm but Dominika asked if we would prefer to start at 3 as the weather looked better then. We had Rhys as our instructor who was amazing with our 8 year old twins. He tailored our experience to perfectly suit our family. The twins did 4 different climbs and an abseil, and they cannot wait to do more. A perfect introduction to outdoor climbing in a stunning location. Would recommend without hesitation.

Myself and my two kids (10 & 12 years old) have been climbing indoors for a few years and wanted an outdoor climbing experience. Dom was a great instructor, my kids who have been doing the NICAS qualifications for 2-3 years said that Dom was the best, most encouraging and fun instructor that they have had.

Dom was great at communicating climbing techniques and safety to my children, whilst also taking the time to chat with them and make them feel relaxed. My daughter who had been drifting away from climbing is now keen for more outdoor climbing sessions.

Despite being the first time I have met Dom, for me it was like hanging out at the crag with a friend. I would happily recommend Dom as a great instructor for beginners, families or experienced indoor climbers looking to take their climbing outdoors.

Fantastic experience - cannot recommend higher. We booked as a family of 4 with our 8 and 11 year old daughters with no outdoor climbing experience at all. Dominika was really well organised (despite our last minute booking) making it really low stress to get sorted. She was fantastic with the kids - making us all feel really safe and encouraging them to get up and climbing and having lots of fun. I think the kids have been bitten by the climbing bug now...

We had a fantastic evening with Dominika at Peak Lines, for an eager 7 year old who has only climbed indoors, his dad and grandad! Dom sorted everyone out with all they needed, kit, great climbs and lots of great instruction and encouragement. Dom is great with children and understands when they need a challenge and when they need a rest! What a fantastic and enjoyable first introduction to trad outdoor climbing, we shan't forget it! Highly recommended:)

We wanted a family climbing and abseiling experience so contacted Peak Lines who organised our session with Matt. I can only say it was phenomenal.
I was a bit nervous beforehand in case it was too hard as we aren’t the fittest, but Matt tailored the session perfectly and we did everything on offer. The time and patience Matt took with the kids was exceptional and he crammed so much into our morning session to give us the best experience possible. It was an incredible bonding and wellbeing experience that my 12yo daughter described as ‘a million times better than a theme park’ which made me glad we pushed ourselves and went for it.
I’d highly recommend this for families or couples who want to connect with the natural environment and push themselves through a fantastic activity.

We took part in a climbing and abseiling session as part of a family group of 4 children, 2 adults and 2 dogs and Dominika was so accommodating. Her contact beforehand was perfect, meeting at the location ran smoothly thanks to her instructions and she was friendly from the moment we met.

She was encouraging and followed the children's lead, praising them and allowing them to try harder things as they felt comfortable to do so. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anyone who loves the outdoors and a challenge! We would love to book again to push ourselves further, and are so thankful for Dominika's helpfulness and patience with our group.
