Lead Climbing Beginner Workshop

Lead Climbing Workshop

Lead climbing is the foundation of all rope climbing techniques.
Master the essential skills in our intensive 5-6 hour workshop.

Workshop Overview

Lead climbing is the technique of climbing while clipping the rope to protection points. The key difference from bouldering is rope-based safety systems.

In this workshop, you'll learn both the climbing techniques and belaying techniques required for lead climbing over an intensive 5-6 hour session.

The workshop is divided into two parts: “Climbing Skills” in the first half and “Belay Skills” in the second half, with hands-on practice throughout.

After completing the workshop, continue your progression with Rope Practice Sessions, Outdoor Workshops, and other follow-up programs.
