Learn to Lead Course

It's time to upskill and put yourself on the sharp end of the rope. Whilst seconding routes entails its own enjoyment and excitment, removing the comfort of a tight top rope will thrust you into a more daring advernture with your heart racing. This course will bring you into the fold of lead climbing and provide you with the skills to keep yourself safe and calm whilst you battle up the crag, forging a line for your partner.
