Please note: This is a 2 day course. Please see date & times below.
Our sport lead climbing course is designed for climbers who are looking to transition from outdoor top-rope or indoor sport climbing to lead climbing. Lead climbing involves the climber clipping and placing the rope into pre-placed protection as they ascend the route, requiring a higher level of skill and technique. By the end of the course you will have the knowledge and confidence to safely lead on your own.
Instruction is 1:4 with experienced guides
