Personally, coming from a background of strong climbing skills but weak technical knowledge, this course provided the perfect introduction to the basics of indoor lead climbing.
The combination of laid-back energy and just the right amount of theory and practice enabled the group to confidently progress through the course.
This was the perfect first step, and I now feel enabled to continue my climbing journey.
Thanks, Climbing Company!
