Learn To Rock Climb In A Weekend In Llangollen

We can’t promise to teach you everything there is to know about rock climbing, but we can cover all the basics, with both practical and classroom sessions on this great sport.

At the end of the weekend you'll know about climbing equipment, safety, rope work, bouldering, belaying, abseiling, anchors, grading, guidebooks and leading. We’ll show you different climbing techniques such as jamming, smearing and mantle shelving. We may even teach you how to do a rock-over or an Egyptian.

When it comes to equipment you will learn about, ropes, nuts, harnesses, helmets, karabiners, figure of eights and belaying devices, as well as friends and prussiks.

You will be taught by a qualified climbing instructor on ‘single pitch’ routes on our local crags. At the end of the weekend we recommend that you join a climbing club or return with a committed partner who has also completed the course, for further supervised practice and instruction with your own equipment.
