Rock
Climbing Holidays, Courses, Training and Vacations.
Rock and Ice offer unique rock climbing instruction, rock climbing holidays
and personal coaching sessions ranging from a single day to 5 days in duration.
We cater for all ages and abilities, all you need is enthusiasm!
Location wise we have over 100 cliffs within one hours drive of our base.
We have both Limesetone and the famous Millstone grit to climb and teach
on.
These
fantastic climbing courses
are our speciality as we have many years of experience. We are members of
AMI the professional association for qualified climbing
and mountaineering instructors.
Our instructors are passionate about climbing and really
enjoy teaching our customers how to become safe and independant climbers.
You
can choose how fast you want to progress, we will always advise
how to do this without pushing you past personal comfort zones.
Areas we cover include Derbyshire, Staffordshire
( Peak District ), Yorkshire, Lancashire,
North Wales (Snowdonia), Anglesey,
South Wales, Scotland, Cornwall
and The English Lake District (Cumbria).
We specialise in quality climbing instruction, and base our success on our
instructor to client ratio which is 1:2 maximum for lead climbing courses
for example. This enables the customer to get the climbing instructor's
attention when they need it, and sometimes, when learning to lead you really
appreciate this!
A typical course is run over 2 days, during this period you will
be introduced to the following:
- Bouldering
- Techniques and coaching
- Specialist equipment use
- Learn to second a climb
- Learn to lead climb
You
will learn much more in 2 days with us, than on a larger ratio course elsewhere.
We will often offer you the opportunity to do your first traditional
lead climb in just 2 days. Courses are often tailor made
so you may progress lead climbing skills under the watchful eye of a qualified
senior instructor.
