Trad Climbing
Intermediate
Introduction To Outdoor Trad Climbing
Learn the mechanics of ‘traditional’ rock climbing, from placing personal protection to safe rope management. A half day clinic, rock climbing in the Lake District focusing on improving your 'trad' rock climbing. This is aimed at climbers who already have some experience in climbing outside, but wish to understand better the basic rope skills, techniques and mechanics that underpin trad climbing.
You'll learn more about placing traditional protection, building safe anchors, and good rope management to enjoy a safe climbing experience. We hope that along with some input into your own personal climbing movement you'll feel more confident and aware climbing outside which will help with that progression of slowly becoming more independent.
Arc'teryx Athletes Charlie Woodburn & Hamish McArthur will be attending the clinics and adding to them, their invaluable knowledge and experience creating a unique and fun learning experience.
