Navigation Skills and Climbing Skills

Take a Mountain Navigation and Rock Climbing course. My flexible climbing courses cover climbing skills you will need to climb safely in Ireland. If you want to get to far flung places in Ireland you may need to know how to navigate with a map and compass to reach your destination. Try a navigation course to learn the fundamentals of reading a map and using a compass. If you want a more structured course try a Mountain skills or Rock Skills course. Each course has a set syllabus designed to cover all the fundamental skills you require to climb and navigate in Ireland. Read more on my Navigation Courses Page or my Climbing Courses Page. The courses run outdoors in a progressive program from being a novice to become a confident knowledgeable navigator and climber.
