Women Beginners Climbing Course

A Three Week Introduction to Climbing at Climbing Hut

This three week beginners climbing course at Climbing Hut Ellesmere Port is designed to give you a strong and confident start to your climbing journey. It provides a supportive introduction to climbing in a friendly, inclusive environment, helping you feel comfortable on the wall and confident in the climbing gym.

The course is ideal for anyone who has never climbed before, as well as those who have tried climbing a few times and want to build a clearer understanding of the basics. Everything is explained step by step, with plenty of time to practice and ask questions along the way.

This course is open to all who identify as women and all non-binary people, and is delivered in a welcoming space where everyone is encouraged to learn at their own pace.

What This Course Is About

Starting something new can feel daunting, especially in a busy climbing gym. This beginners course is designed to remove that pressure and give you a calm, structured introduction to climbing.

Across three weekly sessions, you will be guided by an experienced instructor who focuses on clear explanations and practical learning. The aim is to help you understand how climbing works, how your body moves on the wall, and how to climb in a way that feels safe and enjoyable.

Rather than rushing through skills, the course gives you time to build familiarity with the wall, the holds, and the movement involved in climbing. By the end of the three weeks, you will have a solid foundation that you can build on with confidence.

Who This Course Is For

This beginners climbing course is suitable for adults of all fitness levels and backgrounds. You do not need to be strong, sporty, or experienced to take part. If you are curious about climbing and want to learn in a supportive environment, this course is a great place to start.

It is particularly well suited to people who prefer learning in a smaller group, or who feel more comfortable climbing in a women and non-binary only setting. Many participants find that this environment helps them relax, ask questions more freely, and enjoy the learning process.

No prior climbing knowledge is required, and everything you need will be explained clearly throughout the course.

What You Will Learn Over the Three Weeks

Throughout the course, you will be introduced to the key skills and concepts that form the foundation of indoor climbing. The focus is on understanding movement and developing good habits from the start.

You will spend time learning how to move on the wall in a controlled and balanced way, including how to use your hands and feet effectively. This helps make climbing feel less tiring and more enjoyable, even at an early stage.

The course also covers how to climb down safely, how to practise falling in a controlled way, and how to land properly. These skills are important for building confidence and feeling secure while climbing.

You will be introduced to different types of climbing holds and shown how they are used. Understanding how holds work makes it easier to approach new climbs and reduces uncertainty when you step onto the wall.

In addition, the course covers general climbing gym rules and good etiquette, helping you feel comfortable and confident when climbing independently in the future.

Learning in a Supportive and Inclusive Environment

One of the key aims of this course is to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and supported. The sessions are led by an instructor who understands that everyone learns differently and progresses at their own pace.

You will be encouraged to take breaks when needed, try things more than once, and approach challenges in a way that feels right for you. There is no pressure to perform or compare yourself to others.

Climbing alongside others who are also learning can be reassuring and motivating. Many participants find that sharing the experience helps build confidence and makes the sessions more enjoyable.

Building Confidence on the Wall

Confidence is a big part of learning to climb. This course is structured to help you feel more comfortable with each session, gradually building familiarity with the wall and your own movement.

By practising skills in a guided setting, you will gain a better understanding of what your body can do and how to approach climbs calmly and safely. This often leads to feeling more confident not just during the course, but when returning to the climbing gym on your own.

Many people finish the course feeling more relaxed, capable, and excited to continue climbing.
