SUMMER
ROCK CLIMBING IN CORNWALL
Itinerary
and dates

Courses
for beginners to advanced levels
Course includes 7 nights accommodation, 5 full days of climbing, covering every aspect of rock climbing. Students are taught how to use leader placed protection gear both on single and multi-pitch routes. The courses are well balanced between single pitch and multi-pitch rock climbs. As each day progresses your fitness and competence is assessed. As you progress we introduce more advanced techniques. One half day of instruction in self rescue techniques will be included. This short programme gives students the confidence of knowing how to look after themselves and their companions.
Initially we start the course on the small outcrops close by and as your experience grows we progress onto the longer and more advanced rock climbs. Our courses would normally be called 'skills courses' but we never lose sight of the other side of your visit which is to enjoy the outdoors and the wonderful experience of rock climbing with like minded people in beautiful surroundings. Our courses are tailored to suit all abilities and levels of climbing be it beginner to advanced. Also see our Cornwall equipment list and accommodation details |
Our
centre in Sennen is centrally located to take advantage of all the superb
rock climbing which this area is world famous for. Most of the crags are
near at hand and none take longer than 30 mins to reach. This gives our
students more time for rock climbing and not too much time spent on approach
walks etc. All have sunny aspects and the rock is rough, solid and very
friendly to climb on. It is also particularly good for teaching rock climbing
skills.
The
whole course is based on using leader placed gear, often known as 'adventure
climbing'. You will be given instruction in the use of all the latest
rock climbing protection equipment, nuts, friends and cams etc. and how
to use it. Leading rock climbs is encouraged were ever possible but only
for those who wish to and are (in our judgement) capable.
