Rock Climbing

Advanced Climbing Course - Single Pitch
Troubleshooting Techniques (Advanced Ropework)

Is it for me?
This course is for any climber who wants to be more self reliant when climbing at more adventurous venues. The techniques may be coached in a realistic situation, therefore a full understanding of leading and crag communication is essential. You should be happy to lead unsupervised at whatever grade you feel comfortable.

What we cover
We use a Peak District crag that is easily accessible. We put into practice a variety of self rescue techniques. The emphasis is on learning the techniques not climbing miles of rock. We intend to look at the following areas:

• Anticipating problems
• Sound basic ropework and stance management
• Simple solutions for simple problems
• Strategy formation
• Escaping from the system
• Use of prussiks
• Crag evacuation - Hoisting, lowering and abseiling
• Passing a knot (lower or abseil)
• Traverse problems

It is very important to build on what you are already familiar with. The course will be set at a standard and pace which fits your experience and aspirations. Once a climber has mastered the basic skills, most situations can be solved using the techniques as building blocks.

All our staff are qualified to a minimum of MIA and experienced in teaching climbing at all levels from beginners to more advanced climbers, and will be keen to pass on their knowledge to you.

The day begins with a 9am meeting on the morning of the course.
