Each week, the group faced new challenges, from learning basic techniques and safety skills to tackling more advanced routes on the walls. The sessions provided a supportive environment where our young people could step outside their comfort zones, encourage each another, and celebrate their achievements together.

The group even got to climb outdoors at Bennybeg near Crieff, with all participants enjoying this trip, even staff also had a go at abseiling, with their screams of terror being heard back in Edinburgh!

By the end of the programme, the group not only improved their physical abilities but also gained valuable life skills in communication, problem-solving, and resilience. A huge thank you to the dedicated volunteers from Urban Uprising and the staff at Alien Rock for making this experience both fun and inspiring!
