Maximum Climbing Time 
There are never more than two clients with our friendly, qualified instructor and, whether you are a beginner or have climbed before, he (or she) will make sure that you thoroughly learn the ropes and have the best time possible. They know which crags will be best suited to your abilities and the weather and will mix roadside locations which maximise climbing time with mountain routes which will let you enjoy the splendour of Snowdonia and avoid the crowds. 

Beginners - Join the Club and Get the Bug! 
Over the three days we hope to give you a good introduction to this the fastest growing sport in Britain. Apart from a few hours ropework practise the first evening, the whole course will be conducted on crags and outcrops. Yor instructor will select appropriate routes starting with single pitch (one rope length) routes and moving to multi-pitch ones. 

You'll learn the basics of tying on, using a belay plate and the climbing calls (shouts used to tell your partner what you're doing !). He'll cover belay techniques (using the rope to protect), talk about the use and selection of equipment and advise on climbing moves. You'll also learn to abseil.

Your instructor will be helping you place protection, set up belays and select and construct anchors. He'll also be advising you on route choice, getting the most out of guidebooks and judging grades.
