Some of the topics covered over the duration of the training will include:
Multi Pitch training and assessment cover the skills required to lead climbers on a ‘limited remit’ of multi pitch climbs.
This scheme has been designed to provide a level of basic competence for those who lead clients on multi pitch climbs.
Multi pitch climbing using leader placed protection is one of the most challenging yet rewarding facets of rock climbing.
The fact that climbers may not be easily lowered to the ground and the difficulty of escaping the system to retreat, increases the need for clear and manageable ropework and a variety of skills beyond that of an SPA/RCI holder.

Current situation
As you are probably aware the current advice from the Northern Ireland Executive, Health Promotion Agency NI and Health & Safety Executive NI, as well as our expert group within Sport NI is that we cannot deliver any face to face courses for our customers including use of the Hot Rock Climbing Wall.
We know that you and many others like minded folk are very keen to get back on track with your plans to attend and complete a range of personal skills training and qualifications in a range of disciplines.
Believe us when we say we are equally keen to get outside with you and help you reach your goals and complete that journey.
How do we know? Because every day we get emails and phone calls asking when will courses resume and with every NI Executive mention of easing of restrictions the emails and phone calls are more frequent……
