Rock Climbing

Rock climbing courses at the International Wilderness Leadership School are dedicated to developing confident, competent, climbers. Using a hands on approach to learning, we introduce new skills and put them to use on climbs that develop individual skill and technique. We have programs for everyone from those who want a fun initial rock climbing experience, to those seeking serious expedition skills appropriate for the most demanding high altitude climbs, or, individuals interested in solid professional training courses. Our small groups and low instructor to student ratio let us meet individual expectations, and allow you to progress as quickly as your ambition and ability allow.
