Are you looking to take the next steps to becoming an independent climber? Our learn to lead course will get you there.
This 3 day course will start off with skill refinement and reinforcement of safe systems, good gear placement and an understanding of basic climbing principles.
Day 2 will consist of a series of exercises including ghost roping, series climbing and getting ready for the first lead which will take place on the last day.
Your first lead will be watched closely and coached 1:1 with your instructor as they will be on a self line system next to you as you climb at an appropriate venue, on an appropiate route.
