“Ever since a small boy, I have loved just to look at the mountains, to see them in different lights and from different angles, to feel their rough rock under my fingers and the breath of their winds against my feet…I am in love with the mountains.” Wilfrid Noyce

Vinyassa Retreats & Chicks Unleashed team up!
£650
 We've teamed with lovely Lou of Vinyassa Retreats to offer you this amazing week which combines yoga, climbing, a stunning location & a beautiful chateau!
It's also the first course that Chicks Unleashed has offered as a mixed one. The reason for this is simple: we feel that not many yoga courses are offered for men & we're actually all about including & supporting people.
To get further details please go to her site here.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Coaching Clinic, real rock
£58
 If you'd like to improve your climbing technique we suggest you spend one day with us. You may have just graduated from the indoor wall, or perhaps you've never had someone look at your climbing and show you how to better it. These Clinics are arranged as and when they suit you, at a crag local to you.
Simply contact us and we'll arrange the date & place to suit. If you've a few mates who'd like to come and try it out too we'll bring the cost down.
Coaching Clinic, indoor climbing wall
£48
 Do you feel your indoor climbing technique could do with some tweaking? You may be stuck in a bit of a performance rut, or find that you just can't lead at the grade you happily top rope at. Well, there's a lot to it! In a one day session we can go a long way to improving your technique & showing you the direction you should be taking in the future to maintain improvement.
These Clinics are arranged as and when they suit you, at a climbing wall local to you. Simply contact us and we'll arrange the date & place to suit. If you've a few mates who'd like to come and try it out too we'll bring the cost down.
Rope tricks & self rescue
£58
 Situations where you'd want, or even need, to escape off a route do occur, especially on a multipitch or sea crag. Even if you always second your climbing partner you should know how to help them and yourself in a range of situations. Many people don't think about these situations, but it's a shame because rescue techniques are not too difficult to learn when taught as a series principles in a clear and developped manner.
These Clinics are arranged as and when they suit you, at a cragl local to you. Simply contact us and we'll arrange the date & place to suit. If you've a few mates who'd like to come and try it out too we'll bring the cost down.
