Essential safety training for those regularly leading outdoors. You must be able to confidently build and equalise an anchor to join this workshop.
Very experienced outdoor climbers (sport, trad, multipitch, sea cliffs) interested in learning how to escape or solve basic personal rescue situations. Or those looking for a refresher.
I hope you never have to deal with an emergency when you climb, but it’s definitely a good thing to be prepared. We get a lot of climbers booking this as a refresher to keep their skills up.
