Learn to Lead

Picture7Want to try something a bit more adventurous? If you are happy with your top-roping skills, the next level is learning to lead confidently and safely.

This course will cover the basics of :

*clipping safely

*lead belaying

*and developing climbing technique….

to allow you to get onto the big walls!

To go on this course, you must be proficient at top rope belaying and tying into your harness. We recommend that you are climbing 6a or above before taking this course.

The cost of this course is £40 per person, and there must be two of you. Under 18’s may take this course alongside an adult climber, but will need to go through Yellow Card training before lead climbing unsupervised.
