The beginner course is designed to get you started. You'll enjoy a great time and experience a safe introduction to the sport. Rock climbing is all about moving well, using balance and technique to climb, saving your strength for when it's really needed. The aim of the beginner course is to help you learn movement skills which you can further develop through practice, allowing you to quickly progress to more challenging climbs. We also teach you basic 'top-rope' belay techniques to allow you to get out and practice in safety.
The objective of the advanced course is to work on advanced rope systems, especially on anchor construction and on placing protection and to introduce lead climbing tactics. Climbing on 'gear routes' where you construct your own anchors and place your own protection is way more challenging than 'clipping' bolts. You can't afford to make mistakes as the consequences are often unacceptable. If you're already following 'gear routes', leading indoors or on sport routes and comfortable climbing 5.7 then you're ready for 'Advanced Rock'.
Hot Rock is more event than course, the objective is to climb classic routes and explore personal climbing potential. Myriad sport routes, multi-pitch routes and low instructor ratios will ensure you'll get totally 'pumped'. 5-days with a flexible agenda, personalized coaching and lots of climbing make this a rock classic!
