Step up to Lead Indoors

About the indoor lead climbing course:

Learning to lead indoors is a good first step up to your life of rock climbing and will give you the confidence and fundamental skills to progress to real rock sport climbing outside.
On this indoor ‘learn to lead’ course, we will coach you the skills and judgement take your independence in climbing to the next level.

The course will take place at an indoor climbing wall in South Devon e.g. in Plymouth, Buckfastleigh or Exeter (we can discuss which one will be best for you).

Please Note: This lead climbing course is often taken over two half-days to minimise muscle fatigue. We are happy to discuss this with you.
