Instructional courses are the best way to learn to play safely in the mountains. Most of the equipment required for a course can be rented and some is provided. If you are already a group of four or more we can arrange a special course, especially in May and June. Intermediate, rescue, and mountaineering courses can also be organized. This course introduces the beginner to the basics of rock climbing. At the end of the course participants will be able to set up their own short climbs. Basic knots, rappelling and safety systems will be covered. This is a basic course for those that have only climbed indoors before, and will give a foundation for future skills.
