Level One Training)
This course is
for those interested in climbing on manmade climbing walls and towers. Very little experience is required but
candidates must be able to work comfortably at heights of up to 12 metres.
Each year we
run at least two weekend courses.
Usually there is one course in the early spring and one in the
autumn. Day one of the course is at Kinver
Scout Camp and day two at Rhydd Covert Scout Camp Site.
Natural Rock Crags (Guide Level Two Training)
This course is
for those interested in climbing on natural crags where there are fixed and
insitu points of anchor i.e. trees, large boulders, fixed stakes or bolts. This course is not for the complete novice
but is suitable for those instructors or trainee instructors with only man made
wall experience. Participants will need
to be comfortable working at heights of up to 20 metres and be competent belayers.
We usually run
one course each year in either June or July.
The first day is based at Rhydd Covert Scout Camp Site and for the
second we take a trip down to Symonds Yat Rocks in
the
Real Rock Experience Days
The real rock
days are open to all adult members of the Scout and Guide movements (18 and
over) who wish to gain experience of climbing at natural rock crags. You can be at any level of experience from
the complete novice who just wants to come along and see what it’s all about, to
the experienced climber.
Days are run on
various dates throughout the year

If you need you
own tailor made course for a small group of leaders why not talk to the
Activate Team?
For all courses
it is not important what age level you work with. Rainbow and Beaver Leaders make just as good
climbing instructors as Ranger and Explorer Leaders!
