WCW - Multipitch Climbing - 2 days - Snowdonia

Women's Climbing Weekends have a wonderfully simple aim : to get more women out rock climbing! They are social and inclusive weekends for anyone who identifies as a womento come along and climb, chat and learn.

This weekends and course is run at a 1:2 ratio of instructors and climbers, with a maximum of 6 climbers, so is a small and low key event. This small ratio is key to you learning the most you can, as well as being able to work around different experience levels and being able to climb all weekend. You will either be with myself or another female Mountianeering Instructor.

This weekend is for the slightly more experienced climber; 2 days of multi pitch adventure! You can have already done some, or be someone wanting to move from single pitch to multi pitch, no need to have been multiptch climbing before. Heading to a larger crag, we will go for 2 fantastic days out on some wonderful North Walian rock faces! During this course, you will learn more about multi-pitch climbing and all the techniques associated with it.
