Introduction

If you climb regularly on an indoor wall, but have little or no experience of climbing outside, then this course teaches you the skills to make that transition and become a self-sufficient climber. You will learn how to use of a variety of outdoor venues and during the weekend you’ll climb on a variety of different rock types (3 or 4). With an Instructor to Climber ratio of 1:2 you also have the flexibility to try multi-pitch climbing if you wish.

Who is it for?

• The mental aspects of climbing outside.
• Guidebook interpretation.
