Fuller detail
Are you a complete beginner or have you already done some climbing before? This Dales climbing holiday with climbing instructors Anita and Mo will cater for both levels. If you are a beginner, you will learn how to climb safely: how to stretch and warm up; use of static ropes, a harness, and other climbing equipment; and how to belay yourself and your partner safely. You will then start climbing on a static rope attached to a climbing wall, developing personal climbing skills to help you move more confidently from hold to hold. If you have done some climbing before, this holiday will help you take your technique further, gaining confidence on harder climbs and extending your range. On the first day we will use Ingleton's excellent climbing wall. We'll move out onto local crags and boulders to built technique and confidence. We can also practice abseiling and bouldering - great to do with other women in a supportive and encouraging environment. Before the end of the holiday there will be an opportunity to learn about different kinds of equipment during a visit to a local climbing shop. For both groups, making new friends to climb with is an additional encouragement to take your climbing further. The holiday is based at Ingleton youth hostel in Ingleton village which is easily reached from the M6. Bentham station is 3 miles away by local taxi. Group size: 2 instructors to 12 women. Helmets, harnesses, and ropes are included. Climbing shoes are not included since some women may already possess a pair (Trainers on the wall or walking boots on rock can also be used, and 'rock shoes' can be hired in Ingleton if you wish - £4 a day).
