Trad Rock Climbing
Rock climbing outside with real leader placed protection. Get away from the softer indoor option of clipping bolts!
Are you man or woman enough to climb up a sheer rock face and place your own gear? Find out on a distinctive course with Rock and Ice. We offer you the chance to learn to lead climb the trad way safely.
Qualifications
Qualifications- who needs them? We do! We display the AMI logo and are AALA licenced - that means we are fully qualified to teach these skills and have passed scrutiny by the HSE appointed government body for working in extreme locations with kids and adults alike. Nice to know huh?

Rock and Ice - Rock climbing Holidays, Climbing Courses and Instruction
These
fantastic courses are our speciality as we have over
a decade of experience running them. Rock
and Ice offer rock climbing holidays, instruction,
guiding and personal coaching. We cater for
all ages and abilities.
Our instructors are passionate about climbing and really
enjoy teaching our customers how to become safe and independant climbers.
Areas we cover include Derbyshire, Staffordshire (
Peak District ), Yorkshire, Lancashire, North Wales (Snowdonia), Anglesey,
South Wales, Scotland, Cornwall and The English Lake District (Cumbria).
We specialise in quality climbing instruction, and
base our success on our instructor to client ratio which is 1:2 maximum
for lead climbing courses.
This enables the customer to get the climbing instructor's
attention when they need it, and sometimes, when learning to lead you
really appreciate this!
You will learn much more in 2 days with us, than on a larger ratio course elsewhere.
Some of our courses :
- Introductory rock climbing
- Multi-pitch rock climbing
- Indoor / sport climbing
