This weekend course targets the true beginner who has never climbed before, and wants to experience the thrill of climbing rock faces. Those who have had some experience, either outdoors or in a climbing gym, are more than welcome to join.
The course places a strong emphasis on ensuring that all clients are able to perform all the basic skills which will enable them to enjoy the sport of rock climbing safely and accompany more experienced climbers.
During the course clients will visit 3 to 4 different areas, allowing an oppurtunity to climb as much as possible on different rock faces. Accommodation at the Roc n Rope Chateau and 2 delicious lunches are included in the price.
We strongly recommend that you first practise all the rope work and techniques taught on the course under the supervision of quailified or experienced climbers before getting onto the rock with friends or lesser experienced climbers.
