Progressing Your Trad Climbing
Build your confidence learning key skills, to help improve your ‘Trad.’ climbing, whilst also developing your personal ability to move on rock securely.
A half-day clinic, rock climbing in the Lake District focusing on improving your 'trad.' rock climbing, and aimed at climbers who already have some experience climbing outside, but wish to develop skills and techniques further to progress in their own climbing and wish to climb more independently. This progression of skills will help you to be able to head out by yourselves and set up some top ropes, so that you can enjoy climbing outside with friends safe in the knowledge that you are using safe rope techniques and systems appropriate for that environment. You'll also start to understand the mechanics that underpin lead climbing and become more familiar with traditional gear placements and multi-pitch climbing techniques.
This clinic will run -
9am to 12.30pm - Saturday Morning
1.30pm to 5pm - Sunday Afternoon
We would all like this event to be as Covid Secure as possible.
Even though all the clinic's will be outdoors, can we kindly ask each person attending to complete a Covid test at least 72 hours before arriving.
Even with a negative result, if you do have any Covid related symptons then please don't come, and we'll welcome you back next year - Many thanks
