Climbing Workshops
"Mastery lies on an infinite continuum. As a result, we will never reach the end. We can, however, see to it that we are as far along that continuum as our circumstances allow.”'
Climbing is more than just pulling on holds. Becoming a true master involves not only deepening our knowledge and understanding of techniques, but learning about the situations in which we may need them. Our workshops are focused on a variety of subjects and designed to develop your decision making and technical skill.

Setting up top ropes is a skill within itself. This workshop looks at not just the rigging technicalities but how to manage yourself safely whilst setting them up. We will explore potential issues you may experience whilst climbing or belaying climbers as well as look in depth at anchor placements, equipment and much more.
Looking After Your Second

Ascending & Descending Ropes
1 Day - Ratio 1:4 - Peak District
80% of all climbing accidents happen when descending routes. This workshop looks at abseiling in all its varieties (single rope, double ropes, counter balance, multiple ab's), abseiling past knots as well as the techniques to ascend backup a rope incase we need to. This is a fantastic workshop if you are heading to remote areas or thinking of climbing bigger things.
Sea Cliff Climbing Skills

Sea cliffs are without doubt some of the greatest places to go climbing! We love climbing sea stacks and cliffs all over the UK however gaining access to these amazing places can be tricky and once you pull the ropes theres only one way to go.
