Climbing Course

Leading on Rock Course

Lead rock climbing course. Teaches leading on bolts, single pitch trad leading and multi-pitch climb leading.

 We teach you to advance from a basic level climber where you followed the lead climber to where you can competently lead mid 5th class rock climbs. We teach SRENE anchor building, climbing techniques (though this is limited in scope), clipping bolts, selecting trad gear, placing trad gear, block leading and swinging leads to provide you the tools to start lead climbing.   Completing the course requires substantial climbing and skills practice outside of class arranged field trips.
