Scheme Details
This course is your key to getting started! No previous experience of climbing is required to attend a Rock Skills Introduction course because the content of the course is aimed at complete beginners. If you do have some experience of climbing but aren’t confident about using the equipment required, finding the crags, locating the routes you want to do and how to stay safe on the crag then a Rock Skills Introduction course is an ideal way to learn.
Location - All advertised courses are delivered in the Peak District National Park (usually around Hathersage area), but please contact us if you wish to have a bespoke course delivered at a venue of your choice.
What is included - Our price includes instruction, all equipment (including helmets, harnesses, climbing shoes, ropes and metalware), transport from the meeting location to the crag and support upon completion of the course. We DO NOT provide food and accommodation but we have an excellent partnership with The Little John Hotel who offer a subsidized rate for those attending a Venture Elements course.
Delivery – This is a 1 day course that is predominantly practical in nature, using only a few small theory based activities to reinforce key learning areas.
The Syllabus – This will focus on the following key areas; Background and Planning, Climbing Skills, Footwear and Equipment, Technical Skills, Environmental Knowledge, Hazards and Emergency Proedures. For further information please download Rock_Skills_Handbook.pdf
Pre-requisites – There are no pre-requisites for this course, other than an interest in Rock Climbing and some general fitness to take part.
