Sport climbing on the Slate
Sport Climbing: Indoors to Outdoors
This is the perfect course for indoor climbers who want to take their indoor leading sills to the outdoor environment.
We run single day tasters for indoor climbers who want to experience outdoor sport climbing, or two day progressional courses for those who wish to move towards leading sport independently.
We will cover an extensive list of topics including; guidebook interpretation, choosing a climb, route reading, rethreading anchors, outdoor specific climbing techniques, basic problem solving and advanced belaying.
Learn to Trad Climb & Trad Skills Courses
For those climbers who want to learn to trad climb and be independent leaders.
We offer single day tasters, two day skill courses, or ten day intensive climbing courses.
Not sure what trad climbing is or if it’s for you? Book yourself a single day taster and find out more about the best type of climbing in the UK!
Our two day course aims to have participants working as a slick trad ‘second’ who is able to confidently follow an independent climber up a route of their choice. It covers advanced belaying and rope work, handling trad gear, tying into anchors, equipment choice, climbing tactics and technique.
Our ten day course runs over two, five day blocks and aims to have participants leading independently by the end of the two weeks. We will cover all the aspects of trad climbing required for participants to safely and independently tackle a route of their choice.
