The Objectives

Climbers come on this course for a number of reasons: building confidence; pushing grades; or to have a bit of a climbing MOT. You’ll only lead routes we’ve all agreed will suit you, and that you’d like to climb – we won’t push you to do anything you don’t want to! If you’re already confidently leading at VS and above, then check out our Performance Climbing courses.
