This meet is specifically for those of you who want to learn skills that will enable you to take on the wonderful world of trad climbing. This Skills Weekender is for you if you are already an indoor climber with the confidence to lead and belay a partner safely or you're a sport climber looking to make the leap into trad. You'll learn skills vital for trad climbing that you can then use to further your own progression.
We'll cover 4 core areas;
1) Gear, what is it and how to place it safely,
2) Belaying with half ropes,
3) Setting up anchors to keep you and your climbing partner safe,
4) Abseiling on a single line and half ropes.
We will climb on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th of May. Details of groups and leaders will be posted closer to the dates but it wont deviate much from previous years.
We have a plot booked at the North Lees Campsite for the nights of Friday 16th and Saturday 17th May. The campsite is only a 1km walk from Stanage Plantation in one direction and 1.5ks to Hathersage in the other.
Cost of the weekend to follow as im still negotiating with the site.
