Try Rock Climbing
Never climbed on real rock before? I can introduce you to rock climbing outside on real rock. We can even do some abseiling too if you would like. You can borrow kit, so you can find out if you like climbing before commiting to buying stuff.
We will cover the basics and get you climbing on rock, belaying and start to teach you about how climbers keep themselves safe. We will do some low level unroped climbing called bouldering, some roped climbing - don't worry the rope will always be above your head for this ready to catch you quickly if you slip.
Two days would give you a real feel for what rock climbing is about, one day is an option too if you are just wanting a taster to see how it goes. You can combine as a group of friends with up to 6 people, or perhaps you would like to bring along your family - that is an option too.

Lead climbing
You have spent time seconding routes but want to learn how to lead. Trad or sport I can help you achieve your goals and get you leading. I can't do this in 1 day though, I would recommend 3 days or more to get the best learning outcomes.
If you are already leading but struggling to push on to the next grade I can help you break through that barrier. We can look at tactics, technique and any psychological barriers that are stopping you from achieving your potential.

Aid/Big Wall Climbing
I've climbed a few big walls including the Nose on El Capitan in Yosemite and spent time teaching others the art of aid climbing. If you aspire to climb the Nose or other aid routes I can help you fast track your journey by spending a couple of days with you getting you sorted with the basics and ready for your own adventure.
Guided Rock Climbing
You've done some climbing before and know what routes you would like to climb. Perhaps you have a list of classic routes you would like to be taken up. If so this is the way to do it. I can guide you on routes in Snowdonia or further away if you prefer. Please get in contact to discuss your requirements.
