The aim of this five day course is to progress indoor climbers, or those who second routes, towards becoming competent trad lead climbers. This will be achieved through increasing knowledge of trad climbing equipment and ropework, climbing technique coaching and trad climbing tactics including route selection and guidebook interpretation.
Local indoor climbing walls are the back-up option in the case of poor weather, but the aim would be to climb outside everyday. Sport climbing options may be used to improve leading climbing tactics and climbing technique. For courses in North Wales, it is anticipated that participants will progress onto multipitch climbing.
Each climber’s progression will differ, and rather than aim to have everyone lead climbing by the end of the week, the focus will be on appropriate progressions towards lead climbing. It is, however, anticipated that most participants will take on a lead climb during the course.
A grant is available to AAC members who attend this course. There is more information here.
