What Makes a Private Session Different
Private sessions give you the time and attention needed to focus on your own climbing.
​
With your instructor working only with your group, we can tailor the day to your ability, confidence and ambitions.
​
Your session may include:
​
-
Climbing a selection of single-pitch outdoor routes
-
Movement coaching on real rock
-
Improving balance, footwork and body positioning
-
Building confidence on natural holds and features
-
Learning how to read routes outdoors
-
Exploring beautiful climbing venues in the South West
​​
Our aim is simple: help you climb more confidently and enjoy the experience of climbing outdoors.
Movement Coaching on Real Rock
Climbing outdoors feels very different to climbing in a gym.
​
Natural rock requires you to adapt to different shapes, textures and features. During the session your
instructor will provide coaching to help you:
​
-
Use your feet more effectively
-
Move smoothly and efficiently
-
Find balance on steeper or more technical sections
-
Develop confidence on real rock
​
By climbing a variety of routes, you’ll gain practical experience that directly improves your climbing.
