Learn to Lead Climbing Course- Rock Climbing Course

Our Learn to Lead Rock climbing courses are a great way for confident seconds to build on their experience and start to Lead climb. Lead climbing requires a great deal of skill and judgement with no two situations ever quiet being the same. You need to build a good solid foundation of climbing on a number of different rock types but the rewards are fantastic. Trad lead climbing is the main type of climbing that we do in the UK whether it is a rock climb or even a winter climb.

The Learn to Lead Climbing Course is designed to help you start to build your experience of placing gear, managing risk, selecting the right routes in the first place and looking after yourself at the crag. It can be done on a single pitch or multi pitch crag and we have a wealth of these around the Fort William and Glencoe area.

How many days you feel you need will be different for everyone depending on the level of experience they are coming with, how quickly they learn and what their ambitions are in the long run. But, we would say that the more time spent with your guide/instructor, the more you will get out of it and have the opportunity to move forwards with a supportive member of our staff over seeing your safety.
