Real Rock Climbing Week
 |
If you want to really kick start your climbing career then this is the ultimate climbing course. Our 6 day Real Rock Climbing Week Course combines elements of the Intro, Improver and Leader Courses into one great week of climbing!
No outdoor climbing experience is necessary, but you should be competent fitting a harness, tying-in and belaying to get the most out of the course.
Conveniently located in North Wales, Beacon Climbing Centre has some of the best outdoor climbing in the UK on its doorstep - what better place to start! The course programme is flexible and the instructors will choose venues each day to suit the weather conditions - it is rare that the weather will prevent climbing all together, but part of the course may be based inside at Beacon Climbing Centre.
