Indoor to Outdoor - Learn to Lead Trad Climbing

This two day course gives you the skills to transition from indoor or sport lead climbing to trad leading, with the time and expert input to leave you confident in your next steps.

Could we do it in a day? We can share the skills in a day, but trad climbing is a complex and highly skilled activity. 2 days gives time for you to learn the skills and practice with an experience instructor who can spot potential errors and help you refine your skills.

• Preparing to climb


• Movement and resting


• Placing runners


• Building belays


• Keeping your second safe
