Helping you take that next step. We will work on all areas of your climbing, from technique and training to improve your grades, look at different rock types and how that affects the way in which you climb, and honing rope-work and rigging skills.

Self Rescue for Climbers – 1 day
As a climber it is quite common to encounter problems. This course will allow you to overcome problems, giving you self rescue skills such as safe abseiling, passing the knot, safe ascending and loads more besides.
 
Safety and Rescue for Climbers
No matter how hard we try climbing is an adventure sport and carries an inherent risk. So what happens if you or your partner find yourselves into trouble? This course will deal with some of the more common solutions and begin to develop your problem solving skills to allow you to feel more confident in venturing into more extreme environments.
 
 
Individual Coaching
Available for small groups of up to 4 participants. This will give you the chance to hone your rope skills or receive some feedback on your climbing technique. Depending on your specific requirements we will team you up with the best instructor to meet your needs. £200 per day.
 
Multi-pitch weekend
Working at a ratio of one instructor to 2 clients will allow a pair of keen climbers to progress at their own pace. Whether you are new to multi-pitch, are looking to push your grade or wanting to climb in more challenging environments, this is the course for you.
 
Scrambling
Moving quickly on steep ground somewhere between walking and climbing , you will ascend some classic routes whilst learning the skills of anchor selection and rope work. An ideal course for walkers who are looking to get off the beaten track and take on new challenges, or climbers who want to develop their experience in the mountains.
 
Navigation
The high moorlands of Kinder Scout and Bleaklow offer difficult ground; ideal for learning new navigation skills and putting them to the test. Beginning with a sound introduction to the skills of route choice and navigation, we then enable course members to make decisions and consolidate experience.
