Overview

You want to learn how to stay safe when you're rock climbing. This is the course that every rock climber should take. You'll spend two days learning valuable self rescue skills to get out of those tricky situations that should never arise but all too often do. If you have any doubt about how you'd react in an emergency, this weekend covering self rescue techniques, and how to cope if it all goes wrong, is an ideal way to put you and your climbing partner's minds at rest.

Itinerary

* Please note: Itinerary is subject to weather and availability.

What to Expect

We'll work with you to personalise this course as much of possible. Common issues might include lowering for more than rope length, abseiling past a knot, escaping from a sea cliff - or something just as simple as how to belay when you have no rack left!

Experience Required

You should be a competent independent outdoor rock climber

We want to help you to achieve your goals so comfortable accommodation (with WIFI included) and home-cooked food are part of the deal if you've booked accommodation with us - you don't need to think about sorting this out for yourself.
