Learn to climb

Our Learn to Climb course is for anyone looking to start their journey as a competent indoor climber. In consecutive weeks, you’ll complete four 90-minute sessions to take you through basic climbing techniques and the necessary ropework. 

Participants will learn how to tie-in to climb using a Figure 8 knot and how to set up and belay with a universal friction belay device.

We will also teach how to buddy-check your climber and belayer and how to communicate clearly and precisely during climbs.

This course is perfect for boulderers looking to begin climbing independently on top-rope, individuals looking to rope climb indoors and who want to get started quickly, or for parents who would like to belay their children safely.

Our Learn to Climb Course runs for 4 consecutive weeks. Courses are available on Mondays and Wednesdays
