Itinerary

Have you been climbing indoor walls or are you a complete beginner wanting to experience rock climbing on real rock? This is your chance to learn outdoor rock climbing techniques first-hand. In our coaching sessions, conducted by a certified and very experienced RCI (Rock Climbing Instructor), you'll learn how to rope up correctly, use equipment safely, and optimize your body movements to conserve energy while climbing. Additionally, you'll gain the skills to abseil independently. Also, you'll explore the climbing area, understanding the dynamics of a crag, enjoy the social aspects, and learn how routes are set based on rock features and how to read the rock and its lines. We will climb single pitch sport routes with bolts or possibly head to a trad climbing area, depending on the weather and the location of the activity.

Sessions will take place in Scotland's central belt, with locations chosen based on weather and group proximity. Popular spots for introductory climbing include Neilston Quarry, Benny Beg, Auchinstarry, and Traprain Law. Prior to the session, we will decide the exact climbing crag.
