Objectives: To introduce climbers to the
Cornish sea cliffs, climb some classic routes and also teach
some skills about the dangers and problems of adventure climbing
in such hazardous locations. The emphasis is not on high grade
climbing but high quality routes, where learning can be more
easily managed. It may be possible for clients to lead, where
appropriate.
What Experience is needed?: We cannot accept
novices with no prior climbing experience. You should be able
to fit your own harness, tie on, belay and use basic trad
climbing gear. Some experience of abseiling is strongly recommended.You
need not be a lead climber, but you must be aware that you
will be accessing some remote and committing crags, where
you will be responsible for your own actions and where it
may not be possible for your guide to be with you all the
time.
Staffing: The instructor is Keith Fleming
(MIC).
Accommodation and Catering: Please ask for
details.
Travel: We will try to arrange lift sharing
amognst staff and clients, to cut down on costs. Petrol costs
will be shared amongst the passengers.
Kit: A full kit list will be sent on application,
but you need at least your own helmet, boots, harness, belay
device and slings/krabs.
Cost: £250 course fee only. Accomodation
, food and travel are extra and will be paid by the client.
The Climbing

available from most climbing shops.
Itinerary
It is impossible to set an itinerary in advance, due to weather
and tide restrictions. Please look through the guide, or one
of the selected climbs books, and see if there are any particular
routes you would like to do. We would be happy to take you
on them if suitable and reasonable.
