Itinerary

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

We structure the week carefully to help everyone get the most out of it.

Monday & Tuesday (1 instructor : 4 climbers)

We start the week as a larger group (i.e. 2 instructors with 8 climbers). The first two days typically are spent bouldering, single-pitch sport climbing and top roping at trad climbing crags. You’ll introduce and refresh core safety skills and develop movement skills on a variety of rock types, so you’re moving confidently and working well together before we visit more adventurous venues.

Wednesday to Friday (1 instructor : 2 climbers)

Two more instructors join our group, giving each climber more input from their instructor and the chance to explore more adventurous venues. Depending on conditions and the group’s experience, we could climb on sea cliffs and mountain crags and work on sport and trad lead climbing.

This course is for young people who are either new to climbing or not climbing very often. There is no minimum requirement in terms of experience, grade or NICAS level to join this group. If you do know already what level you climb at, you can use one or more of these levels to check that this is the right group for you:
