Beginners climbing trip to the Peak District
(Currently scheduled for the Saturday, might be swapped to the Sunday if the weather forecast is better)
Every year the 4Cs runs a day trip to the Peak to welcome beginners and
experienced new members to the club. For many this is a chance to try
climbing outdoors, learn the basics or Trad climbing or even try a first
lead. For experienced climbers new to the club this is a great opportunity
to meet other members. We aim to group everyone up with an experienced
partner to show you the ropes. Please be aware that the club operates on a
mentorship model and we cannot replace qualified guides or training.
Beginners should be able to safely lead belay before this trip – please get
in touch if you do not feel confident.
Please sign up by Friday 6th March.
