Intermediate Rock Climbing in West Cornwall with Kernow Coasteering

You’ll spend the day seconding your instructor on classic Cornish routes — cleaning gear, learning how to place it yourself, building anchors, and understanding ropework in a multi-point trad environment. It’s a hands-on, highly practical day tailored to your experience level and learning goals, all set against the backdrop of West Cornwall’s iconic golden granite.

You must be competent at belaying a lead climber. If you’re not quite there yet, our beginner climbing course is the best place to start.

Thinking about building your own trad rack? Don’t miss our guide to buying your first trad gear — ideal reading before or after the course.

🥤 Drink - Make sure you bring enough fluid to last you all day.
📋 Other - You will need to bring a rucksack, or similar, to enable you to carry all of your personal climbing equipment, and food and drink, to the crag and back (up to a 15-20 minute walk).
