Learn to Lead

Course Description:

Many climbers find it challenging to make the leap from top rope climber to lead climber. This course takes you safely through all the pitfalls of lead climbing on an indoor wall and opens a whole array of new routes for you to enjoy. In order to get the most out of your “learn to lead” session, we advise that you can climb 6a on top rope before booking this course.
