The Complete Climber

This intensive course will provide participants with the skills to move from single pitch climbing to advanced multi-pitch climbing in a short space of time. It is intended for those who want to make the move from indoors climbing to outdoors, or for those who have done very little climbing, who have the inclination and resolve to progress their climbing swiftly.

The course is run over 6 days and takes in the majority of the content of the ‘single pitch climbing', ‘Intro to leading', ‘Multi-pitch Climber' and ‘Expert multi-pitch climbing and leading' courses. It is run at a maximum instructor to client ratio of 1:4, to give the participants the intensive instruction necessary for such progression.

The course can take place in a variety of locations, including North Wales, the Lake District and Scotland, depending on time of year and instructor availability.

 

• Location - Either north Wales, the Lake District or Scotland - enquire for details.

• Duration - Six nights' accommodation, six days climbing.

• Meet on Saturday afternoon / evening, finish the following Friday afternoon/evening.

• This trip is possible from April to November.

• Experience - This course is for those with no experience of climbing through to those with some indoor climbing experience who want to make the move outside; you will also need the drive to want to challenge yourself and rapidly improve your skills.

 

We normally run this trip over the course of a week, Saturday night to Friday afternoon, however if you would like to do this at any other time then please contact us.
