Course Breakdown

Overview

We’ll chat through where your climbing’s at and focus on the areas you’d specifically like to work on. Our extensive local knowledge will allow us to pick the best routes for you to meet your aims and of course, have fun climbing. There’s a huge variety of amazing climbing all within a short drive of Plas y Brenin, rest assured you’ll cover lots of these two days. Ready? We are!

Who’s This Aimed At?

Climbers come on this course for a number of reasons: building confidence; pushing grades; or to have a bit of a climbing MOT. You’ll need previous experience of leading trad routes, and want to climb somewhere between V Diff and VS. You’ll only lead routes we’ve all agreed will suit you, and that you’d like to climb – we won’t push you to do anything you don’t want to! If you’re already confidently leading at VS and above, then check out our Performance Climbing courses.
