This two-day workshop is all about getting you and your family climbing, not just for the weekend but equipping you with the skills to be able to spend the rest of your summer enjoying the great rock climbing that the UK is blessed with. Over the two days you will be able to get your children climbing, helping them to learn how to put on a harnesses, tie into the rope, belay and improve their climbing skills. You (and if appropriate your children) will also spend time learning how to place gear, set up bottom ropes, abseil, interpret guidebooks and look at what equipment you might need to be able to do all of this on your own. With two experienced instructors delivering this workshop there is plenty of scope for lots of individualised learning and always enough hands available to keep your children busy until they run out of energy! You will be responsible for your children during the course of the workshop and will be climbing together as a family throughout. 

Please bring your helmet, harness and rock shoes if you have them. If not, please specify what kit your children need within the ballot. Adults may borrow kit from our sponsors at the festival. Instructors will provide ropes and technical equipment (racks). Feel free to bring additional technical kit, including your rack and ropes, and they can be reviewed and discussed as part of the course as you and the instructors look at the equipment you need.
