Rock
Climbing Holidays, Courses, Training and Vacations.
Rock
and Ice offer unique rock climbing instruction, rock
climbing holidays and personal coaching sessions ranging from a single day to 5 days in duration.
We cater
for all ages and abilities, all you need is enthusiasm!
These
fantastic climbing courses are our speciality as we have many years of
experience.
We are members of AMI the professional association for
qualified climbing and mountaineering instructors.
Our instructors are passionate about climbing and really enjoy teaching
our customers how to become safe and independant climbers.
You
can choose how fast you want to progress, we will always advise how to
do this without pushing you past personal comfort zones.
Areas we cover include Derbyshire, Staffordshire ( Peak
District ), Yorkshire,
Lancashire, North Wales (Snowdonia), Anglesey, South
Wales, Scotland, Cornwall and The
English Lake District (Cumbria).
We specialise in quality climbing instruction, and base our success on
our instructor to client ratio which is 1:2 maximum for lead
climbing courses for example. This enables the customer to get the climbing
instructor's attention when they need it, and sometimes, when learning
to lead you really appreciate this!
A typical course is run over 2 days, during this period you will be introduced
to the following:
- Bouldering
- Techniques and coaching
- Specialist equipment use
- Learn to second a climb
- Learn to lead climb
You
will learn much more in 2 days with us, than on a larger ratio course
elsewhere.
We will often offer you the opportunity to do your first traditional
lead climb in just 2 days. Courses are often tailor
made so you may progress
lead climbing skills under the watchful eye of a qualified senior
instructor.
