ABOUT THIS SESSION
Traditional climbing opens up the whole of the Peak District's gritstone and far beyond. This introduction gives you a safe, solid grounding in trad, starting with seconding routes so you can build experience without the pressure of leading.
We will cover how trad gear works, belaying the leader, movement on real rock and the decisions that keep trad climbing safe. It is the natural first step towards leading your own routes one day.
