Award Description

Our Rock Skills courses are designed to provide structured training opportunities for people who want to learn more and become independent climbers. There are three different levels so that complete beginners and those with more experience can choose the most appropriate starting point. 

A Rock Skills Introduction course is ideal for beginner climbers; those who have never climbed on rock and those with limited experience of climbing indoors.
No previous experience is necessary as the course is designed to teach you the basics.

This is a practical and active 8 hour programme and will be based on the iconic tors of Dartmoor.

The course syllabus includes:

- Background and Planning
- Climbing Skills
- Footwear and Equipment
- Technical Skills
- Environmental Knowledge
- Hazards and Emergency Procedures

This is a non-residential programme, however we have a strong relationship with Skern Lodge in Appledore, whom may have rooming or camping facilities available. If you wish to enquire about accommodation at this site during the course, please contact them directly on 01237 475992. (The cost of this accommodation is not included in the course price).
