A course designed for beginners or those with little or no experience in rock climbing.

Offered either as a two day block, or can be split into 4 half days or evenings, and covers;

Personal and group safety at a rock climbing venue. Basic equipment, selection of Rock boots, Harness and Helmet. Learn to belay, abseil and climb with confidence. Use of different ropes, related knots and anchors. Setting up a basic top rope and bottom rope system. Initially belaying, then seconding a lead climber up a single pitch.

This course is primarily practical, and is accessible to anyone with a basic degree of fitness. The practical elements take place in the unspoilt Manx countryside, and therefore may well be physically demanding.

We promote and teach minimal environmental impact ethos, and ensure low instructor to group ratio (max 1:4).

Following this course, we offer rock climbing sessions on the Isle of Man and multi-day trips which include Rock Climbing to North Wales, The Lakes and Scotland. Please contact us, or see the Calendar for details.
