We run a 4-week climbing course that consists of 1 1/2 hour sessions, 1 night a week for 4 weeks. Each session runs between 7pm and 8.30pm. The course is aimed at being both enjoyable and knowledgeable. At the end of each session course members can stay and climb without any extra cost. The course covers the following skills:

The course includes harness, karabiner, belay and lead rope hire. Rock boot hire is available for an additional £2.00. The course is delivered by one of our expert instructors and there is the possibility of a weekend away, climbing outside, at the end of the course. This will be arranged at the end of the course.The aims and objectives of the course are as follows:
- Provide individuals with a basic level of competence in all aspects of indoor climbing.
- Introduce individuals to similar ability persons and form good climbing partnerships.
- Develop skills that will enable individuals to progress onto outdoor climbing.
- Offer opportunity for group to experience outdoor climbing after the 4 week course (application of learnt skills).
On completion of our four week climbing course we like to offer the opportunity for group to experience outdoor climbing, in order to apply the skills that they have learnt. We do this through our weekends away.
We also offer a series of one hour taster sessions.
