We offer great introduction to trad lead climbing course based in Snowdonia that will cover all the skills you need to know to become an independent traditional lead climber. During the course we cover the safe operation and use of all the gear that you are likely to find on a trad rack, as well as what you should have on that rack. The course also covers the ropework you’ll need to make a belay and bring up your second in safety. In order to get you from where you are to leading we will also cover basic climbing technique, tactics of lead climbing and of course how to get down safely from the top of the crag, all accomplished whilst climbing some of the classic easy routes in Snowdonia.

Mark has also recently published the well recieved book on self coached climbing covering all aspects of traditional climbing, called ‘How to Climb Harder’.
