- In-depth introduction to Rock Climbing

If you have already experienced rockclimbing in a group or climbing wall situation perhaps you are interested in going a step further. These courses will see you get through a lot more climbing during your day. The focus is on covering as many varities of climbing styles as possible while also pushing your limits so that you can see just what you are capable of.

- Multipitch Rock Climbing

Once you have gained some experience in rockclimbing the next step is moving on to 'Multipitch' climbs. This simply means that climbs are more than a ropelenght in height and climbing them requires the climbing team to lose touch with the ground completely. Your day is spent on cliffs 50-100m in height and you will see new techniques to compliment those you have already seen or learned on smaller climbs. It is surely on these bigger cliffs that the full pleasure and excitement of rockclimbing is to be found.

Venues include the Gap of Dunloe in Killarney, Glendalough Co Wicklow, Connemara Co Galway, and more.

Priced at €175 per day this course is limited to 2 climbers per guide.

- Learning to lead

Learning to lead and become an independent climber is probably the biggest step any climbers progression. Being the lead climber carries a lot of responsibility, both for your own safety but also for the safety and enjoyment of those who are climbing with you. Learning from experienced instructors is a great way to ensure you are getting the best advice and learning the most appropriate techniques.

All our 'Learning to Lead' courses are custom designed to match the previous experience of the climbing students. Generally we would recommend a minimum of a two to four days training if you are completely new to leading. In this we will introduce you to the equipment and techniques involved and show you them in action. This is complimented by teaching you how to set up systems to allow you to practice in relative safety.

Those who have already cut their teeth in lead-climbing can benefit hugely form 1or 2 days training, to fine tune good techniques and eliminate bad habits.

If you want to be helped in taking this step in developing your climbing then get in touch and we can design a course to suit your experience and needs.
