Is This Course For Me?
The days rock climbing in the Lake District are focused on improving your 'trad' rock climbing, and is for those climbers that already have some experience in climbing outside, but want to develop those skills and techniques further to both progress in their own climbing as well as maybe wanting to climb more independently. It's the progression of skills learnt that you'll then be able to head out by yourselves and set up some top ropes, so that you can enjoy climbing outside with friends 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.
