Are you ready to take your climbing to the next level? Whether you’re just starting or looking to improve your technique, our Foundations of Climbing course is here to help you build solid skills that will serve you for the long run.

This fun and practical 3-session course is designed for anyone who wants to sharpen their foundational climbing abilities. Over the course of 3 weeks, you’ll get hands-on coaching to master agility, balance and coordination - key ingredients to becoming a more confident and capable climber.

What Can You Expect?

Each session is tailored to build on the previous one, with expert instruction and personalised feedback to help you progress:

Week 1: Footwork Finesse

Precise footwork is essential in climbing, and in this first session, you’ll learn how to place your feet with confidence and control. Mastering this technique will give you a solid foundation to grow from.

Week 2: Body Weight Brilliance

Learn how to make your body work for you! By understanding how to use your centre of gravity, you’ll discover how to climb with less effort and more efficiency. This session focuses on using your body’s natural weight distribution to your advantage.

Week 3: Conquer the Steep Stuff

In the final session, we’re taking things up a notch - literally! You’ll learn how to handle overhangs and steep terrain using techniques that tap into your full body’s strength and coordination. By the end of the course, you’ll feel ready to face more challenging climbs.

If you’ve ever felt like you could benefit from extra guidance, or if you just want to fine-tune the basics, this course is for you. It’s not just about learning new techniques; it’s about building confidence and developing a deeper understanding of climbing as a whole.

The course is £95 for all 3 sessions, with each session lasting 1.5 hours.
