UKC

This summer planetFear is running three UK coaching holidays, each with a different emphasis and flavour. Choose between a weekend of trad climbing on Dartmoor, a weekend of sport climbing in Portland or even an entire week of trad climbing in Pembroke!

planetFear coaching holidays provide informal coaching for experienced climbers. The emphasis is climbing with likeminded people, whilst enjoying a relaxing and fun holiday. And of course taking advantage of our expert coaching!

DARTMOOR: 3-4 June
Best of British Weekend 2006 with Ben Heason and Lucy Creamer

Situated in a beautiful National Park, Dartmoor offers spectacular bouldering and trad climbing. Enjoy the peace and atmosphere of the unique Tors and the sticky, rough granite. We will have sole use of 'Sparrowhawk Backpackers' a vegetarian hostel in Mortenhampstead, only 20 minutes from the Haytor area of Dartmoor. The hotel has an environmental ethos and has solar heated showers. Being right in the centre of the village there is a great selection of pubs for eating out (for the meat eaters!) at the end of the day. There is even a heated outdoor pool in the village, which will be open during the summer. The Dartmoor weekend focuses on trad climbing skills, with a day dedicated to movement and technique and day dedicated to actual lead climbing skills.

PORTLAND: 22-23 July
Best of British Weekend 2006 with Lucy Creamer and Gaz Parry

Situated on the south-west coast of England, Portland is Britain's premier sport climbing area for mid to low grade sport routes (F6a -7a). The added bonus with Portland is that you are more likely to catch a few rays of sunshine here, than anywhere else in Britain...for a moment you might just think you are in the south of France! Plus, you will be staying in a lighthouse right on the coast, at the Portland Bird Observatory where 355 species of birds live around the year. The lighthouse and its annex provide hostel style accommodation and is only 1/2 mile from the climbing. The Portland weekend is all about sport climbing tactics and techniques, with day dedicated to onsighting skills and day for redpointing skills.

PEMBROKE: 21-28 August
Trad Climbing Workshop with Ben Heason and Lucy Creamer
http://www.planetfear.com/product_detail.asp?d_id=7&c_id=13&s_id=12...
This week is a must if you want to learn more and push yourself in one of Britain's best trad climbing venues. With a ratio of 1 coach (or instructor) to 2 climbers during the first few days of the week, you will receive a level of coaching which far exceeds any of our other trips. This is a unique week giving you the opportunity to get intensive coaching, improve your trad climbing and learn from some of Britain's best trad climbers in a truly beautiful setting. The week will start with key skills sessions moving on to choosing routes, racking up and climbing routes as efficiently as possible. Every day will include demos from our Ben and Lucy. As the week goes on you will have more than enough opportunity to push yourself and put your new skills to the test. The timing of the trip means that the week coincides with the August bank holiday meaning 8 days climbing in a row.
