Introduction to Rock Climbing 2 - Day Training Course
The ideal course for people with little or no experience who want to try rock climbing on local Peak District crags. Particular emphasis will be on safety and the correct use of equipment. Once basic safety systems have been learnt participants will be encouraged to go at their own pace, climb routes within their ability, and hopefully, become inspired to pursue the sport further. This course is for everyone, whatever age or level of ability. Average fitness is all that is required, as we won’t be visiting any crags that require a long ‘walk in’.

This course is for people with some experience of rock climbing, who want to learn to lead climb on natural rock, outside. It is aimed at people who have climbing wall experience (possibly leading inside), as well as people who have done a little previous climbing and therefore know some of the basics. You will learn how to set up belays, use runners, and lead climbs, whilst understanding all the potential dangers involved.
