Rock Skills Introduction Info

'The Rock Skills Introduction course is your key to getting started! No previous experience of climbing is required to attend a Rock Skills Introduction because the content of the course is aimed at beginners. If you do have some experience of climbing but aren’t confident about using the equipment required, finding the crags, locating the routes you want to do and how to stay safe on the crag then the Rock Skills Introduction is an ideal way to learn.'
