Day 1: On-sight
Adam will take the group to the crag and conduct a warm-up. Then he’ll add to the previous evening's discussion by giving a practical explanation followed by a demonstration of putting on-sight theory into action.
Next, it is your turn. Each climber will choose a route suitable for their ability and will attempt to climb it on-sight. Throughout the day you’ll practice on-sight climbing, Adam will be on-hand to provide tips and advice.
During the day the group will be filmed, and video will be used for further analysis later in the day. Adam will start by analyzing his on-sight attempt and, if you would like, he will analyze yours too.
Before you pack up for the evening Adam will discuss redpoint theory. Again there will be plenty of visual aids and an open discussion to keep it interesting and informative.
Day 2: Redpoint
Again Adam will take you to the chosen crag and get things started with a thorough warm-up. First up Adam will give a demonstration of putting redpoint theory into action on the face.
Each climber will choose an appropriate route to try to project. The goal is to send the route in two or three attempts. With valuable insights, Adam will coach you in putting the redpoint theory into practice.
In the evening there will be further video analysis with a breakdown of your redpoint attempts. Adam will look at ways you can improve, leaving you with areas to work on to ensure you keep improving as a climber.
