This is the objective
The goal of the course is to provide you with an introduction to outdoor climbing. The course requires no prior knowledge and will be tailored to your abilities as much as possible. After the course, you should be able to climb safely at sport climbing areas and have an understanding of the methods used for climbing over multiple rope lengths in the mountains.
