Next Step Outside
Climbing Course
This comprehensive climbing course is designed to take a beginner to intermediate climber through a transformative experience. Getting you through your first lead climbs indoors, and giving new experiences climbing both inside and out, climbers who complete this course will be ready to kick their climbing into the next gear!
This course takes place over four sessions and if usually based around Glasgow and the Central Belt.
Session 1
The first session takes place indoors. This is a 2-3 hour session looking at climbing technique, getting you prepared to spend lots of time on the wall. We will coach you on climbing fundimentals, tiding up the basics so you are ready to get the most out of the rest of the course!
Sessions 2 & 3
These sessions tackle Indoor Lead Climbing. We will cover everything both needed for you and your climbing partner to take ownership of your lead climbing journey, continuing your progress independently.
Lead climbing will give you access to some of the best parts of climbing. It's a very pure and free way to climb, and will be the gateway to taking your climbing out of the gym and into the great outdoors!
Each of these sessions is 2.5hrs
Session 4
Time to get OUTSIDE!
Time to get a taste of the real rock! On Session 4 we will spend a full day at the crag, getting you to grips with outdoor climbing.
We will spend time top roping, learning about the differences between indoor and outdoor climbing. There is also the option to look at becoming a competent "second" in outdoor climbing. This is the first step towards being able access outdoor climbing yourselves!
