The course is spent developing your existing knowledge and skills to learn how to become a more competent and independent rock climber outdoors.
We'll start by looking at general crag safety, the mechanics of traditional rock climbing and how to build safe anchors and set up rope systems at a single pitch crag. Once the top or bottom rope systems are in place, we'll coach you in developing your own personal climbing technique.
If we have time that day, or the following day, we will also look at setting up an abseil and safe abseil techniques, placing traditional protection and the environment.
