Climbing Movement is a coached day dedicated to how you climb. By stripping away pressure about grades and outcomes, we can look closely at footwork, balance, body position, pace and route reading. The workshop can run on suitable rock in Langdale or indoors when an indoor setting gives the better learning environment.
Climb on suitable rock in Langdale or at an indoor venue. We confirm the planned setting when we arrange the workshop.

Weatherproof clothing, warm layers, food, drinks and personal medication. Footwear for the approach. Bring any personal climbing equipment you already own.
