Are you looking for a new challenge in your climbing?
The natural progression from top-rope climbing is to start leading your own climbs. It’s also the first step in climbing independently outdoors.
Our Learn to Lead course will teach you the new skills that you need to climb ‘at the sharp end’ of the rope!
What do I need to know?
There’s quite a lot to learn if you want to lead climb and our experienced instructors can take you through the theory and practical elements involved.
- Equipment
- Lead belaying and falling
- Route selection, avoiding and solving problems
- Improving climbing techniques and confidence
Leading can help improve your climbing technique and strength, allowing you to revisit your favourite routes from a different perspective. Open up a whole new world of challenge and reward in your climbing!
