Join us for... sessions

Climb with a coach on your favourite circuit...

In these informal sessions we go on a tour around problems of a particular colour, a great chance to get hints and tips from a coach and to get psych from others climbing at a similar grade.

At this coaching weekend we're running sessions on yellow (4-6b), purple (6a-7a) and green (6b-7b).
