Lead Rock Climbing - 2 Days - Margaret River WA
The course is conducted at the Wilyabrup Sea Cliffs, arguably one of Western Australia’s premier climbing locations, approximately three hours south of Perth near Margaret River. The crag offers a full range of climbing challenges and serves as an ideal environment for learning the art of protection placement (Trad Gear - camming devices, wire stoppers, hexentrics nuts and the like) which is integral to traditional lead climbing.
Every piece of protection placed over the two days is critically reviewed by an experienced instructor, providing participants with constant feedback and ensuring appropriate safety is maintained throughout the course whilst you learn. We have a high instructor to participant ratio of 1:4.
