Progressing Your Trad Climbing w/Alex Luger

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 focusing on improving your trad rock climbing. It is 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 become more independent. 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 clinics will run -

Testimonials For ISM

Perfectly paced and tailored, great variety of skills learned. Guiding and Instruction? Thomas was fab! Everything was pitched at the right level (no pun intended), safety was always paramount and everyone had so much fun learning everything.

Summits & Skills 4000m (Instructional Course)

The course was excellent, lots of variety and provided me with a good range of skills. Loved reaching the summit of the Weissmeis, for such a nervous and unconfident novice like me, I gained a real sense of achievement from the ascent and the whole week. Huge thanks to Pat.

Jo Clark
Summits & Skills 4000m (Instructional Course)

​Good mixture of progressive instruction and learning, climbing and guiding. We climbed some very good mountains from good huts and made the best of the mixed weather conditions. The course also used a range of situations and locations to cover a wide range of skills and techniques.
