Trad Improver

Further refine your trad rock climbing skills and learn to lead with confidence in your placements and climbing ability. It is quite common that we can climb decent grade sports climbs with confidence whilst maintaining a focus on our climbing technique, but when we climb trad of the same technical ability we lose that confidence and our focus moves more to the worry of gear placements.
