Technical skills for outdoor climbing
Have you tried climbing outdoors and are keen to develop the technical skills that will keep you safe on future adventures? Then our full-day intro / intermediate courses are for you!
What you will learn
How to:
- place different types of climbing protection – nuts, cams, hexes, slings
- make judgements about the quality of gear placements
- use the rope to keep you and your partner safe whilst climbing
- build safe and secure belays
- avoid or solve common problems encountered in rock climbing
Introductory sessions assume no prior knowledge or experience of placing climbing protection or climbing ropework. ‘Next steps’ sessions build on any existing knowledge and introduce skills to solve basic problems encountered when climbing or abseiling.

The days will be based in Cumbria – exact location to be determined based on the weather and where participants are coming from.
