TRUST YOUR TRAD GEAR!
This workshop is designed to help you improve your confidence and develop your skillset for personal trad leads, and help you to become a more solid climber as you move towards the RCDI qualification, or want to consolidate your VS leads as an RCI instructor.
Prior experience: you will need to be a qualified RCI to attend this workshop, and have aspirations to move towards higher level climbing awards such as RCDI.
Workshop content:
This day is all about learning to really trust your trad gear, fine tune your gear placements and build confidence so that you don’t lead trad as if you’re soloing! We’ll look at progressive (and safe) ways to weight and test your gear at a single pitch venue, and build up your trust in yourself, your gear and your belayer. This workshop will also look at becoming the best belayer and building partner trust.
This session will run on Thursday 8th August from 09.30am - 4.30pm, and there will be a maximum group size of 6. We will use crags in the central fells, but exact venues sill be decided once we have a weather forecast.
Shared transport can be available from Keswick for anyone travelling by public transport.
You need to bring your own personal climbing equipment (harness, helmet, rock shoes, belay device), and a trad rack/rope.
I will also be running another coaching workshop on Friday 9th August if you would like to attend both days!
