Explore Rock Climbing and Abseiling 2-day course
Our two day course is the perfect way to make you a climber. You will be shown all that you need to know to enable you to go out and climb.
At the end of the weekend you'll know about climbing equipment, safety, rope work, bouldering, belaying, abseiling, anchors, grading, guidebooks and leading. We'll show you different climbing techniques such as jamming, smearing, mantle shelving, lay backing and chimneying. We may even teach you how to do a rock-over or an Egyptian.
When it comes to equipment you will learn about, ropes, nuts, harnesses, helmets, karabiners, figure of eights and belaying devices, as well as friends and prussiks.
You will be taught by a qualified climbing instructor on ‘single pitch' routes on our local crags. At the end of the weekend we recommend that you join a climbing club or return with a committed partner who has also completed the course, for further supervised practice and instruction with your own equipment.
Whilst not a sport in it's own right, Abseiling is a useful skill for any climber, and there will be the chance to have a go throughout the course!
