Introduction to Rock Climbing – Course Overview

A highly practical day with lots of time climbing.

This is the first day of a two day Introduction to Rock Climbing for those short on time or just wanting to dip their toe into the fantastic world of climbing.

Once basic safety systems have been learnt, participants will be encouraged to go at their own pace, climbing routes within their ability, and become inspired to pursue the sport further.

Introduction to Rock Climbing – Course Format

After the course introductions at 9am and over a cuppa we will talk about climbing equipment, how to fit it and how to use it safely before heading outside to put the theory into practice.

Its a very short drive from where we meet to the crag. On the walk in we can discuss rock climbing guidebooks and how we might selected a specific crag and a route. Once we are there we will start climbing! We look at balance and movement in the vertical realm and learn the skills to safely climb routes suitable for our level of ability. In the afternoon, we also look at abseiling.

We aim to finish the day back at the hotel by 5pm.
