Improve your climbing

 

Enjoy climbing but end up scaring yourself most of the time? Are your belays not that good, does your lead gear keep falling out? Then book now for our "improve your climbing" course! Also can be tailored to refresh your skills ready for an SPA assessment.

We will guide you through the transition from climbing as a second to leading your own climbs - but at your pace. We look at tying in techniques, choosing a suitable lead rack, how to place lead gear, clipping methods and finally, building that bombproof belay once you get to the top! All rock climbing equipment will be supplied by The AdventureFitness Company unless you have some that you want to use (once we have checked it!).

For this course our instructor is a member of the Association of Mountaineering Instructors so they will have a ton of experience to show you how to climb safely! We will concentrate on placing gear, building bombproof belays in a multi pitch scenario, general rope work and management skills. And of course not forgetting the all important how to get back down to the ground safely techniques- an all too easily overlooked part of the climb!

 

If your lead gear placements look like this then you could do with our help!
