Students are taught all the basic skills of rope techniques, building belays, the use of Nuts, Friends and other modern rock climbing protection systems. Our programme of teaching rock movement is second to none and all students benefit greatly from this. More advanced skills are introduced thoughout the weeks course. We encourage students to take the role of leading rock climbs but only if they wish and are (in our judgement) capable. Wlieiievei' possible we also encourage students to expenence one *bII day of long muli-pitch climbing. The opportunity to visit one of the big rock faces which this area is now famous for has not to be missed. This course is a well balanced programme which covers all aspects of the sport of rock climbing. Ratio of students to instructors on this course will not be more than four per instructor.
