Take a unique 'one of kind' underground adventure deep inside the caverns of Honister Slate Mine, Keswick.
Similar to the Via Ferrata Xtreme, but this activity takes you in to the heart of a historic Lake District mountain in to areas only used be miners 100 years ago. As you climb and scramble up vertical rock walls of this historical mine, you'll be scaling airy bridges and tackling metal ladders attached to the rock in this subterranean world.

Climb the Mine is an adrenaline filled indoor adventure climbing / scrambling system that uses a permanently fixed cable for safety and protection up the rock face.
This is the perfect activity regardless of what the Lake District weather throws at us as we shelter inside the mine. You will leave this activity energised and excited for more.

It can feel a little daunting to commit to spending almost 5 days, 24 hours each day, with a group of people you have most probably never met before. However, it’s not all that bad. In fact, it’s a very positive experience.
Would you get off the sofa and try to run a marathon without any training? No?! With a good base level of fitness, endurance and cardiovascular training, the challenge will still be hard, but the enjoyment levels will be higher and you’ll minimise the risk of injury.
