This formal rock climbing qualification previously called The Single Pitch Award is recognised as the minimum qualification required to safely take groups rock climbing at non-tidal outdoor rock climbing venues.
This qualification trains and assesses experienced rock climbers to instruct and supervise rock climbing within a specified remit in the UK & Ireland. I run most of these courses on Cruit Island in Western Donegal.
All courses are run on-demand, just let me know your dates and I will run a course to suit you.
