Course Breakdown

Overview

Get your body moving and build your confidence on this two-day introduction to rock climbing for women course in Snowdonia (Eryri). Rock climbing is one of the fastest growing outdoor sports in the world, and no wonder; it’s one of the best ways to get fit, get social, and get outside.

Join our friendly instructors and discover the joys of climbing over a fun-filled weekend in a supportive, friendly and fun environment. We’ll climb on boulders and short crags, giving you a chance to try lots of climbs and styles, build confidence, have some movement coaching, and see how climbing kit works. We’ll climb in a maximum group size of one instructor to six participants, so you can expect plenty of individual attention and a great social, all while pushing yourself at your own pace!      

You should leave the course knowing why climbing’s amazing and be able to confidently fit a harness, tie onto a rope, and belay (keep your partner safe).  

Who’s This Aimed At?

This course is aimed at women with an interest in having a go at climbing. You may have had a go in the past, visit a climbing wall occasionally, or equally it could be your first time. We’ll start easy and build things up to suit everyone – we’ll use friendly venues (not too hard or high) and build your confidence over the weekend.
