Wall to Rock
Outcrop climbing involves visiting moorland crags and attempting single pitch routes of up to about 50’ in height. This one day course is designed for those who have perhaps started their climbing career in an indoor wall such as The Newcastle Climbing Centre and want to progress to the outdoors. We will visit two of Northumberland’s classic sandstone outcrops and break the day up by having lunch in a pub. Participants will have the opportunity to climb, on a top rope, a number of routes of a grade suitable to their ability.
After this course, most students feel happy to undertake visits, by themselves, to local outcrops, in the knowledge that they will be employing safe techniques.
Although we encourage students to provide their own harnesses and belay plates, these items can be provided. All other equipment is supplied.
Who is this course for?
This course is aimed at climbers who are over 18 and wish to experience and learn the skills required to climb outdoors. The minimum requirement is that clients can safely operate a belay plate and can confidently climb at French technical grade 4.
