© UKC Articles
Do you want a refresher on building belays and placing gear? Or maybe you want some advice on moving faster and being slicker, so you can climb longer routes?

Are you looking for information about accessible alpine rock routes? Would you like to run through some big wall skills before your trip out to Yosemite?

Do you fancy a weekend in North Wales, with like-minded climbers, gaining knowledge from qualified and experienced guides and instructors?

Maybe The Big Climb is for you.

The Big Climb is a weekend of workshops, lectures and events on the 14th and 15th of May 2011 at Plas y Brenin, North Wales.

The price for the weekend is just £160 which includes two nights accommodation and all your food, in addition to the world class coaching and tuition and guest speakers on Friday and Saturday night.
