I have decided to offer a “How to Big Wall Course” over the weekend of 15th & 16th August 2010. I guess it is the last date that would be available to anyone heading out to Yosemite to attempt a Big Wall. What this course offers is a run through all the skills you need to convert all your UK Trad climbing skills to Big Walling.
The course is ideal for anyone wanting to ascend routes like Salathe Wall, The Nose of El Cap or the Regular NW Face of Half Dome. The weekend revolves round a series of skill based workshops, that gradually build new skills in small chunks until at the end of the weekend you will have put them all together to realise just what it takes to Lead a pitch of aid or french free, fix the ropes, allowing the second to jumar. How that second can jumar past roofs or deviations in the fixed line, and how the leader can haul.
The course is £150 per person, and is based on a maximum of four people attending, if you’d like to find out more visit the link to the course here, or contact me here.
