Your first day outside

GYM TO CRAG

Tell us what you climb indoors and where you are. We list nearby crags with routes at about your level, ranked by how many fit and how close they are.

Before your first day outside

Grades feel harder outside

Holds are less obvious and the rock isn’t standardised, so we show routes a little below your gym grade.

Learn the outdoor skills

Outdoor belaying, anchors and cleaning aren’t gym skills. Take an intro class or hire a guide for day one.

Ask your gym

Many gyms run outdoor intro days or know the local guides and the crags that suit beginners.
