Course Overview

Day One:

You'll learn how to fit and wear each piece of equipment, then it's on to the ropes...condition and care, both on and off the rock, and the best ways to stack while climbing and coil afterwards.

The afternoon's agenda begins with movement-on-rock training, talking about and spotting where our feet and hands should be while rock climbing. Camp is a breeze to set up, and the gourmet food organized by our highly qualified guides is nutritious and plentiful, ensuring that our bodies are well fuelled for the rock climbing mountaineering still to come.

We move into belay techniques, then into top roping, put it all together on belay, and then progress into lowering techniques. "Use your feet and legs, not your arms" becomes a familiar training refrain...

Rappelling leads the afternoon's climbing activities, allowing us to gain proficiency in this important rock climbing technique. Then it's top-roping heaven and climb, climb, climb...moving from bluff to bluff quickly and easily. Mountaineering has never felt so rewarding!

Day Three:
