For those with sport climbing holidays on the horizon, our sport climbing learn-to-lead course ensures you feel confident leading and descending routes safely. We'll cover route selection, belaying, bolt clipping, safe descent techniques, and more.

Our learn-to-lead courses aim to gradually introduce you to the safe practices needed to approach and tackle a lead climb. Therefore, we have found that running a three-day trad course is more productive, as we don't have to rush, ensuring that all individuals are learning at an appropriate pace. We want you to leave the course feeling confident. However, we are always happy to chat further after a course to clarify anything.
