Get active at the EMFF and hone your climbing
skills under the guidance of two of the Scotland's leading climbers,
Dave McLeod and Niall McNair.
Climbing Master Classes will be staged at Alien Rock 2 on Saturday and
Sunday at 10am and 2pm each day. The 3-hour sessions are suitable for
climbers age 12+ of any ability level wishing to learn to improve their
technique and movement skills.
Places cost £30 per person and are strictly limited to 8 climbers
per session. Reserve your place at Alien Rock or Alien Rock 2.
All climbing will be
bouldering based using a mixture of pre-set problems set by the coaches
and new problems set during the session, supervised by coaches.
There will be a maximum of 8 clients per session, split into 2 groups,
maintaining a 1:4 ratio. Each session lasts a total of 3 hours.
The sessions will tackle the fundamental
concepts of efficient climbing at a basic, accessible level with additional
help with building training sessions independently to provide a framework
for climbers to practice the skills in their everyday climbing.
