Indoor-to-Outdoor Skills Workshop: Master the Ropes Before You Hit the Rock
£85.00
You’ve got the fitness. You’ve got the technique. Now get the skills.
Moving from the gym to real rock is the biggest step in a climber's life. Indoors, the anchors are clipped and the ropes are set. Outdoors, you are responsible for your own safety.
This 3-hour intensive workshop brings the outdoors indoors. We strip away the climbing performance pressure and focus 100% on the technical safety skills you need to be independent on Dartmoor or sea cliffs.
We will teach you about trad gear, build "bomb-proof" anchors, and abseil safely—all in the comfort of the climbing centre.
Why take this workshop?
Remove the Mystery: Confused by nuts, cams, and slings? We demystify the "trad rack."
Safety First: Learn the "SERE" principles to build anchors that won't fail.
Prep for the Real Thing: This is the perfect preparation before booking our full weekend "Learn to Lead" course.
Don't let the technical skills hold you back.
3-Hour Workshop (7:00 PM – 10:00 PM)
