However, Climb Pembroke reserves the right to cancel courses if they believe the weather conditions to be dangerous or if there is unexpected illness to the Course Director. It is important to understand that Climb Pembroke cannot guarantee beautiful blue skys on every course, so clients must come prepared to cope with poor, wet weather conditions.

a. Outdoor based skills training to develop their personal climbing knowledge.
b. Indoor based skills training to develop their personal climbing knowledge.
3. If Climb Pembroke has to cancel the planned activity due to Illness to the Course Director the client shall be offered a full refund.
Even though Climb Pembroke carries full Public Liability Insurance for all activities undertaken, we strongly recommend that you take out your own personal accident/cancellation insurance for all courses booked through Climb Pembroke.
