Women's Ready to Rock courses are designed to help women progress from climbing indoors to learning the key skills to climb outdoors on real rock.
We offer a range of courses, from beginner through to sport and trad lead climbing, lead by experienced women instructors in partnership with the Association for Mountaineering Instructors (AMI), so that you can gain the confidence and skills you need to climb outdoors.

“Lena was informative, encouraging and friendly, even through the soaking rain we managed to get a few climbs and abseils in. Most importantly we felt safe and in good hands. Definitely would recommend! Preferably on a dry day next time!” - Christina Wager
