PRICES
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 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.
