I'm looking to do a 'learn to trad climb' course sometime (very) soon. I want to learn to lead trad and how to safely undertake multipitch trad as well.

Can anyone recommend an instructor or company in the South West?

Thanks,

Jonah

Stu's your man!

As Tom says all nice guys but Stu is unbelievably active and keen. I don't know anyone who climbs as much!

Good luck and enjoy!

If you're Somerset based I'd happily organise a course for you in the Wye Valley, but you're much more likely to get dry rock this time of year in Pembrokeshire, where I'm based...

Let me know if I can help!

I eventually decided to go with Climb South West. I had a cracking time with Justin and highly recommend him!

Thanks for the recommendations though everyone.
