Our instructors are the best in the business and are selected not only for their vast experience, but also for their calm, approachable manner and ability to relate well to people. We will tailor this course to suit your needs so you can get exactly what you need from it. Our aim is to make you a more independent climber so that you can head to the crags more confidently with other climbers. Our courses take place in the region of Hathersage (S321BB), on the Gritstone crags of the “Eastern Edges.” This area includes the world class crags such as Stanage Edge, Millstone Edge and Burbage. These areas are not only great places to climb for any ability, but they are also set in stunning countryside yet very close to the urban centres of Sheffield, Chesterfield and not too far from Manchester or Derby. All equipment is included in all of our courses, though candidates may bring their own if they wish to use it. We have delivered hundreds of climbing courses and are one of the Peak District’s premier providers of rock climbing courses.
All our instructors are members of the Mountain Training Association or the Association of Mountaineering Instructors.
