Learning to Lead

A five day course designed to help you progress from competent second to the possibility (subject to ability) of you leading your own leader protected climb.  Our structured training programme will ensure that we approach each skill and technique progressively with ample time built into the timetable to ensure that we consolidate newly acquired techniques and knowledge prior to moving onto fresh subject matter.  Key subjects covered during the course of the five days are:

• Belay Building
• Leader placed protection
• Use of ropes & rope management (twin and single)
• Carriage of equipment
• Mindset 
• Movement Techniques
• Basic problem solving & emergency procedures

The package will feature two days at single pitch venues then the remaining three days multi-pitching so that by the end of the course you will have a firm foundation on which to take your personal climbing forward
