Delivered by the Mountain School UK team, held at the Peak Centre.
Mountain School UK delivered a highly practical and safety-focused two-hour climbing session at The Peak Centre Designed specifically for beginners and intermediate climbers seeking greater confidence with technical equipment, the session prioritised hands-on kit familiarisation over physical endurance or route difficulty.
Led by qualified, Mountain Training-registered instructors, the session began with a thorough safety briefing covering venue protocols, fall dynamics, and the shared responsibility of partner checks. Participants were then introduced to core hardware including adjustable models, locking carabiners (with screw-gate and auto-locking variants)
With a focused on knot-tying: the figure-eight follow-through was taught and verified under supervision, alongside backup knots (stopper and double overhand) and their appropriate use. Instructors demonstrated proper rope management techniques — coiling, stacking, and tangle prevention.
