The courses

Fundamentals

The Fundamentals course is aimed at beginners and people who may have been climbing for a while who want to learn the correct technique and move better on the climbing wall. This course focuses on balance, finding the correct body position on slabs and vertical walls. It teaches correct footwork, economy of movement and moving efficiently, making the climb as easy as possible. It’s ideal for those who currently climbing on the purple and yellow circuits who may be looking to progress onto oranges.

 

Break Into Blues

Cruising up the purple and yellow circuits but hitting a wall when it comes to the blues? The Break into Blues course is aimed at intermediate climbers who are currently climbing the orange circuit but are looking to break into the blue circuits. It teaches more advanced techniques that may include heel hooks, toe hooks, dynamic climbing and advanced climbing tactics. 

 

Slab Masterclass

Find yourself avoiding all the slab problems? Do your feet refuse to stay on those tiny slab footholds? The Slab Masterclass helps break down how we can use our body positioning to dance up slabs rather than battle up them. Mastering body positioning and footwork are the keys that will help open up a world of slab climbing love.

 

Big Move Masterclass

Struggle on those big moves? Find yourself getting tired arms and climbing too slowly? The Big Move Masterclass workshop helps break down how we can become better, more efficient climbers by mastering dynamic movement. Whether it’s being more dynamic to save energy on every move, to overcome reach or finding out the key to sticking those big dynos – we’ve got you covered.
