Award Description
Our Rock Skills courses are designed to provide structured training opportunities for people who want to learn more and become independent climbers. There are three different levels so that complete beginners and those with more experience can choose the most appropriate starting point.
This is a mixed course for those who want to start climbing outdoors, learn the fundamentals of trad climbing in a group environment or just gain a refresher.
There will be a maximum group size of 6, and the days will take place at a single pitch venue. These courses are geared towards adults, although young people aged 14 or over are welcome to attend with a parent or guardian.
Content generally includes:
Top tips for climbing on rock
Gear placements and trad rope systems
Choosing routes and using outdoor venues
Belaying from below and above
Safe trad skills
You will need to:
have some prior experience of climbing, even if its just a bit indoors
bring your own harness, helmet and rock shoes (I have some available for hire)
bring suitable outdoor clothing for the weather
Location: Borrowdale (meet in Keswick to car share)
