Summary
Come on a rock climbing course with Pure Outdoor. This course is the progression from the Beginner course and would suit those who have climbed indoors and perhaps have tried outdoor climbing and want to progress. On the highly accessible gritstone crags of the Peak District this course aims to get you climbing confidently while teaching the essential skills of rope work, belaying and using the technical equipment required for trad and sport climbing. We hope to take in some of the Peak District's many and varied routes to build fundamental climbing skills for the future. With some of the most famous venues in the country there is a good chance you could find yourself at Stanage Edge, Froggatt Edge and Burbage Edge amongst many others.
During this course you will build on the beginner course which covered the fundamentals of rock climbing including how to use the essential equipment, footwear, basic climbing moves, abseiling, belaying, about rock types and how to use guidebooks.
We will focus on seconding routes, placing and removing equipment and some basic rigging systems.
It is designed for people with some experience rock climbing and for those who can confidently belay. If you are looking for a course where you can focus on becoming a lead climber outdoors or looking at some more rope techniques, have a look at our lower ratio 2 day Advanced Navigation Course or Learn to Lead Courses.
Pre-Requisites
Have indoor and outdoor climbing experience, or have attended the Beginner Climbing Course
Equipment Required
Most clients bring their own rock shoes. They can however be hired.
Accommodation Information
This course is non-residential, so if you do not live locally, you may need to arrange your own accommodation.
We have tried to make some good links with local B&B's, Guesthouses and Campsites to give you comprehensive choice when booking accommodation to coincide with your Pure Outdoor course.
This section has been broken down into two sections. Those travelling up on Public Transport and staying in the Hathersage area (we recommend this as it has a direct rail link with Sheffield and Manchester and your course instructor can come pick you up on the morning of the course) and a section for those of you who will be driving up to the course who have a little more freedom.

Great Intro to Climbing
Great course which helped give me the extra confidence needed to successfully try climbing! The instructor is very helpful and clear and I would say this is an essential to anyone who even thinks they have a basic level of skill because you'll definately learn something!
