Learn To Lead Climb Week

Learn To Lead Climb Week

A learn to lead climbing course in the Cairngorms National Park & the Scottish Highlands is a comprehensive program designed to teach you the essential skills and techniques required for safe and confident lead climbing.

A 5-day learn to lead climbing course in the Highlands of Scotland is a comprehensive and immersive program designed to teach participants the skills and techniques required to lead climb safely and confidently. Here is an itinerary for a typical 5-day course:

Day 1 Kingussie Crags: The first day of the course will begin with a briefing from the experienced guide, who will go over the itinerary and safety protocols for the week. Participants will then be introduced to the basic equipment used in lead climbing, including ropes, harnesses, and protection. The day will be spent practicing basic climbing techniques on single-pitch climbs, with a focus on good gear selection, placement and anchor building.

Day 2 Pinnacle Crags: On the second day, participants will begin to develop the skills from day 1 to become more independent while learning new ways to build anchors depending on the situation presented at the top of the crag. 

Day 3 Cummingston Crags: The third day will involve more advanced lead climbing techniques, including personal abseil setups to retrieve stuck gear. Participants will be taught how to lead climb safely, using proper protection techniques and communication with their belayer.

Day 4 Creag Na H-Eighe Crags: On the fourth day, participants will have the opportunity to put their skills to the test on more challenging climbs (if they wish it). The focus will be on building confidence and improving technique, with personalized instruction and feedback from the guide.

Day 5 Polldubh Crags: The final day of the course will be spent on a multi-pitch lead climb, allowing participants to showcase the skills they have learned over the week. The day will also include a debrief with the guide, providing an opportunity for reflection and feedback.

Throughout the course, participants will have the chance to learn about the history and ecology of the area, adding depth to the overall experience. Overall, a 5-day learn to lead climbing course in the Highlands of Scotland is an immersive and challenging program designed to teach participants the skills and techniques required for safe and confident lead climbing.We pride ourselves on providing as much kit as possible for you.  However, the list below is what we recommend you should bring to your Learn To Lead Multi Pitch Climbing Course:
