Take your climbing skills to the next level with this comprehensive five-day course (or weekend) designed to help you become an independent traditional lead climber. This immersive course is set in the mountains of North Wales, offering a perfect environment for climbers who have experience seconding trad climbs or leading indoors/sport routes and want to transition into safely leading trad climbs.

Throughout the five days, you'll receive expert instruction from a qualified team of mountaineering professionals.
