We offer a range of outdoor and indoor climbing courses to suit all comers.  If you want a climbing session for a group (youth group, stag/hen party, school) then our ‘group climbing adventures’ may be for you.  Our ‘experience’ sessions cater for individuals or small groups of friends who want to discover climbing outside on real rock, or be taken on outdoor climbing adventures beyond what they have done before. Those wanting to learn or develop the skills needed for independent outdoor climbing will find the course for them from our range of ‘skills’ courses. In addition we offer bespoke courses so if you want something that you don’t see here, just ask. If you want advice about where you’re at with your climbing and how to take it forward then call or email us and we’ll be happy to discuss it.

We run most of our outdoor climbing courses in Yorkshire, the Peak District, North Wales and the Lake District. If you have a different location in mind then let us know as we are often happy to run courses in other areas.

Skills for Independent Climbing (previously “Wall to Rock”):

This 2 day course is for people who want to learn to climb independently outdoors. It covers the skills needed to climb at single pitch crags using top ropes; skills which will open up a huge amount of quality climbing to you across the UK.  Top roping enables you to climb independently and is also a valuable building block for lead climbing. This course does not involve lead climbing.
Price: From £348.
Maximum group size: 6 (from £58 per person)
Previous experience required: Some outdoor climbing and/or climbing independently indoors.
Syllabus includes:
Guide book use, grades and route selection
Anchor selection and assessment
Selection and use of appropriate equipment
Setting up safe top ropes
Belaying in the outdoor context
Movement skills for climbing on rock

As with all our skills courses, the syllabus will be tailored to the needs of the individual so will vary from course to course.

Skills for Lead Climbing 

Learn the skills required to start leading climbs outdoors. This 2-day course is also suitable for those who are already leading outside but would benefit from some professional instruction to fine tune their skills. 
Group size:  Up to 4 people.
Price: From £190 per day (from £31 per person).
Experience required: Independent outdoor climbing and/or leading indoors.
The syllabus will be tailored to your needs, but is likely to include:
Top rope systems including anchor selection and assessment
Belaying for the lead climber and the second in the outdoor environment
Equipment for lead climbing
Anchor selection and assessment
Managing risks on-lead, including runner placement and selection
Guide book use, grades and route selection

Please note that we do not guarantee that you will lead a route on this course. While this will be the aim it will depend upon the assessment of the instructor as to whether or not it is safe to do so. This assessment will take into account events on the day including the weather.
In addition to this 2-day course we also offer 1 day and multi-day courses to provide a quicker introduction, a recap, or a more in-depth course on which the need for prior experience may not apply. Please contact us to discuss a bespoke course.

Skills for Multi Pitch Climbing.

Learn or develop the skills for multi pitch climbing. Making the move from single pitch climbing to multi pitch climbing offers new challenges and requires new skills. This course covers the skills you need to move into the multi pitch environment, including, for those that are ready for it, multi pitch leading. For those who already have multi-pitch climbing skills, this course can be tailored to develop those skills to a more advanced level. It is therefore suitable for 2 climbers at different stages in their skills and abilities. It can also be booked for a single climber.

Often booked as a 2-day course, this is also available as a single day for those wanting a quicker introduction or to fine tune their existing skills, and as a multi-day course for those who have the time to go into extra depth.
Price: from £180 per day (£90 each for 2).

Skills for ‘Self Rescue’ 

This 2-day course is for those who are already climbing independently (whether or not you are a lead climber) on either single pitch or multi pitch climbs. It covers the techniques needed to get you and your partner safely out of various emergency and problem situations.
Techniques covered may include:
Prusiking
Abseiling and lowering past a knot
“Escaping the system”
Abseil rescue of a stuck/incapacitated climber
This course includes practising the techniques ‘in context’ on the cliff.
Price for up to 2 people: £370 (from £185 per person)
Price for 3 to 4 people:  £555 (from £137 per person)
Price for up to 6 people: £740 (from £123 per person)

Movement Skills

Want to improve your grade, at bouldering, indoor wall climbing, or outdoor climbing? This is the course for you.
Group size: Up to 6
Price: From £180 per day (from £30 per person for a group of 6)

Guided Experience

This course is for anyone that wants to be taken multi pitch climbing, including on mountain crags and sea cliffs. This could be as an introduction to multi pitch climbing prior to going on a skills course, could be because there is a route you’ve always wanted to do, or could just be because you want the experience. Either way a day of guided climbing can make this happen. Like all our courses this is available as a gift.
Suitable for 1 or 2 people. Price from £180 per day (£90 each for 2 people).
Experience required: None, other than for any specific routes requested which would require you to be able to second at the necessary standard.
