Overview

Anyone who’s keen to learn to sport climb and improve their climbing. We’ll typically climb at crags with a broad range of grades, with most people climbing somewhere between French 4 and 6b over the weekend. You should finish the course feeling confident to visit a sport crag and know how to use it safely and efficiently, and never leave a quickdraw behind!
