Set in the gorgeous Great Langdale <\/a>\u2014 in the heart of the Lake District National Park \u2014 the boutique-styled Academy immerses you in UK ‘trad’ climbing culture sponsored by Arc’teryx<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The internationally renowned outdoor brand has returned to the Lakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formerly known as the Lakeland Revival, it is the perfect place to learn and advance your climbing skills, it brings together world-class athletes, top-certified guides, and brand partners to deliver a wide range of clinics, workshops, and a supportive experience for all levels \u2014 no matter if you\u2019re new to climbing or pushing your limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one-of-a-kind base camp at the Sticklebarn Pub<\/a> is your place to join the climbing community after a day at the crag. Get hands-on with Arc’teryx products, browse partner stands, enjoy delicious food and drinks, watch exclusive film premieres, and take in athlete talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arc’teryx announced the Bank holiday retreat stating this on Instagram:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Arc\u2019teryx Climbing Academy Lake District clinic booking is live. Clinics. Workshops. Yoga. Films. Live music. Community. World-class athletes. It\u2019s all happening at the Arc\u2019teryx Climb Academy Lake District, May 25-27. Mark your calendars and book your clinics now so you don\u2019t miss out on instructional sessions in the beautiful crags, boulders, and hills.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Charlie Woodburn<\/a> has been involved with the academy since the Lakeland Revival and is now a climbing guide on the Arc’teryx roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@Charliewoodburn<\/a> has been climbing since he was 11 and joins a star-studded climbing team.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained his technique-based role for the upcoming weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Master class is my area. That includes teaching style improvement skills, footwork and bouldering or, tactics in lead climbing . I’m gonna be teaching them all about technique and everything I’ve learnt my years of climbing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two other academies around the world. The Canadian company Arctos work with the academy in Squamish<\/a>, north of Vancouver, and Apline Chanomix<\/a> a venue which has been running for 13 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why did they choose Great Langdale?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“The Lake District academy began due to the lack of climbing in the Lakes. Nobody really knows why, but the Lake District as a climbing hub in the UK has fallen off the radar a bit. People tended not to climb the lakes as much as they used to in the 70s, 80s and early 90s and that’s why it began,” Charlie told Nine To Alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Lakeland Revival was set up that was sponsored by Arc’teryx and it was an initiative that went over the whole summer where a certain select classic routes of the Lake District were picked that were overgrown and, you know, needing some TLC, so climbers could go and do these routes and then clean them up in the process.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK athlete team is run by Katy Whittaker<\/a> , an accomplished trail climber in the UK, from the Peak District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In collaboration with Arc’teryx she created an ‘eclectic group’ of climbing specialists, boulderers, sport climbers and competition climbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I started the event originally to try and make entrance and progression through climbing more accessible with instruction from the best guides. I’ve been working alongside international school of mountaineering to do this for the last 7 years and it became an Arc’teryx academy 4 years ago. It’s for anyone who’s completely new to climbing through to those who want to work on more advanced techniques such as rescue techniques.<\/em>“<\/p>\nKatie Whittaker<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It has since grown to a plethora of different outdoor activities including that you can participate in for between \u00a340 – \u00a390:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
