Who is the course suitable for?
This course is for people who have done some rock climbing before and want a refresher or some tips on how to improve their climbing or perhaps would like to move from single to multi pitch climbs. It is ideal for people who have done a lot of climbing in the past but have not been able to get out recently or people who feel that they have plateaud in their performance and would benefit from some tips and pointers. The course will look at both climbing movement skills and technical skills.

What does the course cover?

Rob runs these courses on a 1:2 ratio to ensure that the pace of the day is set at your ability. The course is based on getting as much climbing done as possible and teaching/coaching on the rock. Over the two days we can look at anything that you specifically want to cover including:

~ Personal equipment and organising it on your harness
~ Gear Placement
~ Belaying a lead climber and a second
~ The process of leading
~ Stance Organisation (rope and second management)
~ Abseil Retreats
~ Emergency Procedures
~ Judgement, route choice and route finding
~ Efficient movement skills
~ Performance coaching
~ Progressing from single to multi pitch climbing


The course will be run entirely on the rock face although if the weather really is bad we may head indoors for a skill based session.

Where is the course held?
We run the course in Snowdonia. Snowdonia offers every type of climbing from roadside crags to long mountain routes and has its sheltered venues suitable for rock climbing through the winter months (the North Wales coastline being particularly good).
