Rock Skills Introduction

Rock Skills Introduction
Mountain Training Rock Skills courses provide a progressive introduction to the basic skills and techniques of rock climbing, which will help you stay safe, enjoy climbing to the full and provide the foundation required for participation and development of your own rock climbing activites.

Climbing Experience Required

 The Rock Skills Introduction is your key to getting started! No previous experience of climbing is required to attend our Rock Skills Introduction course because the content is aimed at complete beginners.

  • Technical Skills
  • Environmental Knowledge
  • Hazards and Emergency Procedures

And by the end of the day you can expect to:

  • Have climbed outside for a good proportion of the day on an appropriate crag
  • Be in a strong position to take a climbing wall belay test
