Rab Women’s Social : BUK Trad Day
with Esther Foster & Tanya Meredith
This day is all about having a go at outdoor trad climbing and learning or refreshing fundamental trad safety skills.
As well as lots of climbing and tips for moving on rock, we’ll choose to cover a range of skills such as gear placements, rope work and abseiling, so that you can feel more confident and capable of getting going climbing outdoors.
There will be a maximum group size of 8, and the day will take place at Hutton Roof (45 mins drive from Boulder UK)
Info
Date: Saturday 27th June 2026
Who is this for?
Anyone who is new to outdoor route climbing and just wants a go.
Anyone who has trad climbed before but wants to consolidate or refresh key skills.
Participants will ideally be able to tie-in and belay already.
14- 17 year olds can attend, but only with a parent/guardian who is also attending the session.
You will need to bring:
- Suitable outdoor clothing for the weather. (including waterproofs just in case!)
