🧭 What to Expect

After a short briefing, attention turns to safety and how outdoor bouldering works, including mat placement and spotting techniques. This sets a solid foundation before getting onto the rock and starting to climb.

Time is then spent working through a range of boulder problems suited to your level. Coaching focuses on improving movement, using your feet effectively and adjusting body position to stay balanced. Different styles of climbing are introduced across the day, helping you adapt to varied rock features.

Later in the session, you’ll begin to apply these skills more independently while still receiving guidance where needed. You’ll also look at how to use guidebooks, understand grading systems and follow good practice at the crag, giving you the knowledge to continue bouldering outdoors with confidence.
