Trad Climbing History In The Lake District

This year, we traveled to the Lake District for the Arc’teryx Academy 2025, where history and modern climbing culture collide. We explored the iconic crags that shaped British climbing and soaked in the unique atmosphere that makes this place so special. We joined some hands-on clinics led by world-class athletes and guides, gaining insights into technique, safety, and storytelling in the outdoors. From misty mornings on the rock to deep conversations about climbing’s past and future, this episode captures the heart of what makes the Lake District—and the Academy—such an unforgettable experience.
