Overview

This immersive five day course is all about going climbing and gaining valuable mileage on rock. The aim of the course is to develop your climbing ability, knowledge and understanding of technical ropework and safety. Our instructors will take you out to all the best crags that will challenge you and develop you, so you can handle them yourself when you head out with friends. They'll have you following pitch after pitch of climbing on single and multi pitch crags, on stunning mountainous crags and wild, adventurous sea cliffs. This is a great course for you if you're thinking about starting lead climbing but don't yet have enough experience under your belt, or if you're not interested in lead climbing yet, but want to have some climbing adventures. So it's all about stacks of climbing and learning from some of the country's most experienced climbing instructors.

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.
