Learning to Lead

 

The aim of the course is to introduce you to the world of lead climbing and equip you with the skills to enable you to climb single and multi pitch routes under your own steam, with increased confidence. You'll learn all the essentials for leading a rock climb.

This course is suitable for people who already have some experience of climbing either on indoor walls or climbing as 'an experienced second' outside.

It is best if this course is run over 2 days to get the most out of it.
