An exciting weekend of all things trad climbing, in partnership with Becca Lounds (@climbmoverun). Becca is a climbing coach who specialises in movement and mindfulness.

If you’re new to outdoor climbing, want a better understanding of movement and technique on rock, or want to learn techniques on how to improve your mental game, come join us!

You will need you own harness and climbing shoes.

Topics we’ll cover during the weekend:

• Intro to gritstone and climbing ethics

• Movement and technique on boulders

• Spotting when bouldering - when, why, how

• Tying in, belaying and lead belaying best practice

• Gritstone-specific techniques eg crack climbing

• Building anchors for belaying at the top or bottom

• Bottom-rope climbing (lots of this!)

• Understanding gear placement

You must have your own climbing harness, shoes, and be able to tie in and belay
