Learning to lead is one of the biggest milestones in climbing. It opens the door to new opportunities, builds confidence, and challenges you to trust your skills in a whole new way. But lead climbing also comes with unique risks and techniques that every climber needs to learn before tying in.
In this two-day course, you’ll cover the fundamentals of lead climbing: clipping, belaying, fall management, gear checks, and safe practices for taking your climbing to the next level. With plenty of time on the wall and the support of an experienced coach, you’ll leave ready to tackle routes with confidence.
