Rock Climbing - Gold DofE Residential

This intensive week of training and instruction is intended for those who have a little climbing
experience and are keen to learn more. Whether you’ve climbed indoors or outside before, as long as
you can belay safely, this exciting residential is for you! We will maximise your learning by keeping your
activity groups small, giving you plenty of contact with your climbing instructor.

We start the course with a 2 day Rock Skills Intermediate course - a nationally recognised personal skills scheme run by Mountain Training. Our aim is to enable you to enjoy rock climbing under
your own steam at a suitable crag, using traditional protection. We’ll add in a day in the high mountains, which will introduce a good skill set for reaching more remote crags, before returning back to rock climbing, perhaps for a taste of sea-cliff climbing (depending on weather, tides, etc).

Finally, we’ll spend the last day looking at personal development and how to move forward with your
personal rock climbing skills in the future.

The cost of the residential includes all food, accommodation, registration fees and transport during the week.
