INDOORS TO OUTDOORS

LEARN TO LEAD
Expert, focussed tuition in leading trad climbs will make a huge difference in your confidence, safety and rate of development. These courses will vary in length depending on your experience. Ideally a 1:2 ratio will allow me to be alongside the lead climber on a separate rope, ensuring quality gear placements and giving maximum support.

PUSH YOUR GRADE
I am experienced in pushing my own climbing, dealing with fear, and coaching others through those boundaries and benchmark grades. I'll look carefully at your lead climbing, and assess which aspects will gain the most improvement. We can work on your gear placement skills, movement, tactics, head game and route reading...giving you the support you need to see a new lease of life in your climbing. These courses can be focussed on trad, sport or boudering.

MULTIPITCH CLIMBING
The Lake District is famous for it's multipitch climbs and mountain crags. Multipitch climbing is far more intimidating and committing than single pitch climbing, and requires more experience, skill and judgement. It is also an awesome adventure, taking you to fantastic places with a huge sense of exposure. We can deliver fully guided classic multipitch adventures of any grade, or teach you the necessary multipitch skills along the way to move you towards independant climbing.

"I don’t think I quite realised just how much I had learned until I started trying to make notes which filled pages! I feel like I have now got a solid foundation to get out trad climbing safely and have some fun. Thank you!"
Tom, after completing a 2 day Rock Skills Learn to Lead course
"We had one hell of a weekend on the Learn to Lead course with Esther. We were nervous about our first time venturing into placing gear on trad climbs, but the calm instructions and brilliant knowledge given to us over the two days left us feeling extremely positive and confident. The days were well paced, organised and adapted to teach us what we need without going over too much knowledge we already had ourselves."
