What is Lead Clinic?

The perfect opportunity to take the jump from Top Rope Climbing to Lead Climbing in a safe and fun environment!

The program spans across 3 weeks, with options for weeknights or weekends (times below). Available dates will show in the booking form at the bottom of this page. The first session is 3 hours, and the following two sessions are 2 hours each.

It is suited to intermediate to advanced climbers who are confidently climbing grade 18 (5.10a) and above. Under 18s must obtain parental consent.

The first session kicks off with a complete introduction to Lead Climbing, safety aspects, gear, technique, “Do’s and Don’ts” and other technical elements, followed by a demonstration and practice climbing, clipping and belaying in a safe simulated environment.

The following sessions cover more practical time climbing & belaying repetition and more complex safety technique. Students are also welcome at this stage to bring all of your lead climbing questions to the table.

As the aim of the course is to get you lead climbing independently, at the end of the course, each student will undergo the NBRH lead assessment, so you can continue sending after the course is over!
