Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I meet you?
​
We normally leave arranging an exact venue until the week before to allow us to get the latest weather forecast and pick the best venue to match both your needs and the weather conditions. We always meet you at the venue so you don’t waste climbing time traveling around. Your Instructor will be in touch with you the week before the course, with details about how to find the meeting point.
