Multi-Pitch
Mountaineering
Scrambling and Climbing Courses
You
have climbed at the local wall, in the Peaks, and have even bagged up
on previous W4A courses, but now you're keen to try something bigger….
Maybe Snowdonia, the Lakes or Scotland beckon - big long routes that
allow you to climb bottom to top. These outings are the beginning of
full on mountaineering. Yes please - you know it makes sense: starting
at £150 per person we can introduce you to some great routes and
teach you the skills required for multi-pitch scrambles and climbing.
These courses are far more technical and usually work at an instructor/client
ratio of no more than 1:3.
"Will,
Recovering from a great weekend - tired but exultant. Learnt a lot,
and gained a lot of confidence. Steve was an excellent instructor -
supportive, encouraging and very clear. I need to get back out on the rock
