Beginners Course

Learn the skills you need to be self-sufficient in an indoor climbing environment over this four week course.
Our beginners course covers all aspects of indoor climbing: warming up, bouldering, belaying, climbing with in-situ ropes and lead climbing. The aim is to get you to a standard where you can understand and minimise the risks inherent in using a climbing wall, avoid injury and enjoy using a wall without the need for supervision.  Your journey begins here!

The course consists of four sessions lasting 2 hours 45 minutes per session. Minimum age 14 years. Courses run year-round so give us a call for latest availability.

Session One

The session to get you started! We look at personal safety and injury avoidance in a practical and informative way. Next up is the fun bit - we explore climbing techniques to get you up, around and down the climbing walls! We will be on our Bouldering walls so you will be able to climb lots and get all the input from the instructor to make rapid gains in your climbing ability.

Session Two

An introduction to roped climbing. We will look at the selection and use of suitable climbing equipment, climbing and belaying skills using in-situ ropes, route selection and more climbing techniques.

Session Three

An introduction to lead climbing. The session covers the skills you will need to be able to climb and belay in a lead climbing situation, at an indoor wall.  We will look at the many aspects of lead climbing that you will need to become familiar with in order to make appropriate judgements to reduce the risk involved. Key to this session is learning how to belay in order to safeguard the lead climber.

Session Four

Further Lead climbing. A continuation of all the sessions to consolidate the skills learned so far. 

Cost:

£100 for all four sessions.
