So, you want to learn to climb?
Rock climbing is a fantastic way to get fit, build strength and stamina, meet people and get outdoors! Its a myth that you need to have exceptional upper body strength. A positive attitude will get you a long way, as will a good sense of humour.
Is it for you?
This course is for anyone who wants a fun and educational introduction to rock climbing. You will look at all the essential skills to get you started. You don’t need any previous experience or need to be a gymnast, just be keen to have some fun and do some climbing.
What we Cover?
We feel it is very important for you to progress at your own pace. Therefore we carefully select climbs that suit your aspirations and ability. Our high staff to student ratio allows us to do this.
Venues will be selected based on the weather conditions and the group.
Over the course of the day we intend to look at the following areas:
- Basic movement on rock
- Introduction to simple ropework
- Belaying (controlling the rope for the climber)
- Single pitch climbing
- Abseiling
- Use of technical equipment
- Where do I go from here? – after the course
All our staff are dedicated climbers and have a great depth of knowledge of the local crags. They are qualified and experienced in teaching climbing at all levels from beginners to more advanced climbers, and will be keen to pass on their knowledge to you.
The day begins at 9am. We finish from a full day of activity by 5pm.
