Rock Skills Introduction

The Mountain Training Rock Skills courses are designed to provide structured training opportunities for people who want to learn more and become independent climbers. There are three different levels so that complete beginners and those with more experience can choose the most appropriate starting point.

The one day Rock Skills Introduction course is ideal for beginner climbers; those who have never climbed on rock and those with limited experience of climbing indoors. No previous experience is necessary as the course is designed to teach you the basics.

We are familiar with working with a variety of needs and ensuring that our courses are participant centred.

The course is designed to give you a good taster to climbing outside and will cover the following topics:

- Background and planning: including the use of guide books;

- Climbing skills: including fundamental movement skills and climbing styles;

- Footwear and equipment;

- Technical skills: including tying in, belaying, spotting and abseiling;

- Environmental knowledge;

- Hazards and emergency procedures.
