With the slowly easing of restrictions but the lack of climbing wall access both throughout the crisis and likely for a little while longer, here’s a course to get you progressing from the indoor wall to climbing independently outside on trad. Over the two days we will aim to cover venue selection, warming up, belay techniques for leading, gear placement, clipping practise, movement skills, route reading, ropework and hopefully have you leading by the end.

Based in Snowdonia. Max ratio will 1:2 and cost will be £200 per person

Prerequisites: competent indoor top roper (with own harness, shoes and belay device)

COVID restrictions may still apply. Adequate precautions will be undertaken both before and during including social distancing
