​

Rock climbing is a wonderful and thrilling sport, yet sometimes things can go wrong. Would you know what to do if your partner was injured half way up a route? What if your second wasn't able to make it up the route you just led? 

 

Having the skills and know-how to help you out in a tight spot whilst out enjoying your day at the crag is an essential part of a climber’s skillset.

 

Our Self Rescue for Climbers one day course is designed to equip you with a tool kit of knowledge to help you if the worst should happen. 

​

All of our courses are run by highly qualified and experienced Mountaineering and Climbing Instructors (formerly MIA) who are members of the Association of Mountaineering Instructors, so you know you are in good hands when it comes to knowledge, safety and tailored, progressive teaching to help you get the most from your course.
