Traditional climbing - or trad climbing as it's more commonly known - is the craft of placing protection gear up climbing routes. Whether that's climbing big walls, alpine objectives or multi-pitch routes up the Stawamus Chief, the ability to trad climb provides climbers with access to mountains all over the world.

In addition to our field days, all students will have access to our online course too, so you can study before and after you head out into the field. Students can also join our top-up clinics running throughout the season. Simply book your clinic on one of our scheduled dates, and get yourself back on the rock to put your skills into practice!

Save 10% when this course is combined with Multi-Pitch Climbing in the same booking.
