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.
Location
The days will be based in Cumbria – exact location to be determined based on the weather and where participants are coming from.
Course size
Minimum 2 people for each course to run. Maximum 6 people per course.
Dates and availability
- Sunday 21st March 2027
This is the day after an Intro to Rock day. You are welcome to join us for the whole weekend, and the Intro to Rock day provides the perfect foundation for the Technical Rock Skills day, or just come on one or the other day appropriate to your climbing experience.
If this date doesn’t suit, think about getting in touch to book a private day that works for you covering the same skills.
