You will practise placing gear, ropework and seconding on real rock while building environmental awareness alongside other developing climbers. 📋 Key Details Duration: 09:00 to 17:00 over 2 days Meeting: Ilkley Cow and Calf cafe area Minimum age: 12+ Pre-requisites: Rock Skills Intro or logged wall/outdoor experience 🧗 What to Expect Over two intensive days on real rock, your instructor coaches you through the fundamentals of traditional climbing protection, including nut and hex placements, spring-loaded camming devices, and equalised belay anchors. You will learn how to build secure stance anchors, safely second a leader, and remove gear efficiently without dropping it. Coached climbing blocks give you hands-on practice building belays and assessing rock features under direct instructor supervision, with continuous feedback on your placements. The syllabus also covers crag etiquette, access considerations, and essential guidebook interpretation to foster self-reliance. 📍 Location The course takes place across prime Yorkshire gritstone venues such as Ilkley Moor, Brimham Rocks, or Almscliffe Crag, providing a rich variety of cracks, corners, and slabs. Instructors select crag sectors with easy access to solid top anchors and safe stances. We email the exact meeting point, parking information, and daily schedule prior to the weekend so travel arrangements are straightforward. Bring sturdy footwear for the crag approaches and clothing suitable for two full days outdoors in changeable Yorkshire weather. ✅ Prerequisites Minimum age 12; candidates should have completed Rock Skills Introduction or have logged at least ten outdoor climbs and ten competent belays. You must be confident fitting your harness, tying in, and belaying an active climber. Good general fitness is required for two full days of moving on rock and carrying gear. Please tell us about any injuries or medical needs in advance so we can plan appropriately. ⭐ Why Choose Us The team grew out of school and youth climbing programmes across Yorkshire, so instructors know how to keep young climbers safe while still having fun on real rock. We treat young climbers as capable adventurers, nurturing their technical precision and decision-making skills. Our instructors hold recognized Mountain Training awards, outdoor first aid qualifications, and enh… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Qualified instructor or trainer for the booked session or course Activity equipment required for instructed elements unless stated otherwise Safety briefings and structured coaching or training delivery Public liability insurance for instructed activities Certification or assessment where included in the course description ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Food and drinks unless stated for residential trips Personal clothing and footwear Registration or membership fees to external bodies where applicable Travel expenses or parking charges unless agreed in advance ### Kit list Grippy footwear and full outdoor clothing layers Waterproof jacket and trousers Food and water for the duration Notebook for training courses if you like written notes Personal medication ## FAQs ### Who is Kids Rock Skills Intermediate for? Young climbers aged 12 to 17 who have finished Kids Rock Skills Introduction or climb confidently outdoors on top rope and want a two-day trad skills weekend with peers. A parent or guardian must complete consent forms and remain contactable during the course even if they do not climb every pitch. ### What is included? Two days of youth-focused coaching, group ropes and teaching racks, and Mountain Training aligned skills from movement through to placing gear on easy routes. Personal shoes, harness and helmet should be brought if you own them; hire may be available on request when booked ahead. ### Where do we meet? We use family-friendly Yorkshire grit venues with straightforward approaches. Meet point, parking and what to wear are emailed before the weekend. Drop-off and pick-up times are strict for safeguarding; please arrive five minutes early for registration on day one. ### What should my child bring? Climbing shoes, harness, helmet, lunch, snacks and water for both days, plus waterproofs and warm layers for long hours on the moor. Label kit with names so group racks stay organised when everyone shares teaching gear between sessions. ### What experience is needed? Kids Rock Skills Introduction or regular outdoor climbing with a club is expected. Coaches check belay and tie-in competence at the start of day one. If your child is nervous on exposure, tell us when booking so we choose crag sectors with gentler landings and shorter pitches. ### How does booking work on Adventuro? Book through Adventuro and complete parental consent and emergency contact details before the course runs. Payment confirms the place once instructor ratios are secure for that weekend. Youth course places are capped for safety, so waiting lists open when Easter or summer dates sell out. We email guardians as soon as a spare place appears. ### What about weather? Youth groups use sheltered crags when wind or rain picks up. Coaches keep energy positive with technique games at the base rather than forcing exposure in poor conditions. If we cancel for safety, we contact guardians immediately with reschedule or refund options. ### Are parents on the crag all day? Parents do not need to belay unless agreed in advance; qualified staff manage ropes during coached sections. Spectating from a safe distance is welcome where venue rules allow. We share a short end-of-day summary so you know what skills your child practised and what to revise at home. ### Does this link to Mountain Training? Content follows the youth Rock Skills pathway and can be logged in a Mountain Training account when the young person is registered. We explain registration steps to guardians on day one if you are new to the scheme. ### What are the cancellation terms? Cancellation fees follow the UK tiers on this page. School holiday dates are popular, so please give notice if your child cannot attend. We try to move learners to another youth weekend when illness strikes before course day. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/IMG_0579-2.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
