Hi Redpoint

Thanks for the Take it Outdoor Course - it was great. The staff were patient and knowledgeable and I have come away feeling a lot more confident.

They tailored the course to suit all of us on it and I really enjoyed it. Plus the bunker is ace.

Thanks again.

Hi Redpoint

I have just returned home from the take it outside course. The course and level of instruction from both Martin and Mirf was first class. I would recommend anybody to sign up if you want to climb safely outdoors, if fact the instruction is so good I have already booked my place on the next course in May!

Martin/Mirf

The climbing and tuition was awesome! Thank you

Honestly I haven't shut up about how great this trip was! I'm telling anyone and everyone I see. The roaches is a perfect place to start learning to climb out doors, I loved every second of it. Massive thank you to phil, tom, and the rest of the guys, your guidance and advice was flawless. I learned sooo much more than I expected to and made some friends along the way!
Superb! Can't wait to get out there again asap! Today hunky dory, tomorrow, valkyrie!

Hi and thanks to Phil, Paula, Mick and Aidan for a brilliant day at Burbage. Everyone treated me like an adult and I know my skills have improved with real rock climbing. A special thanks to Paula and Mick for helping me with the technical stuff and keeping my confidence as high as the rocks I climbed. Now I’m really looking forward to the next time I climb outdoors and thanks again Rach.

Outdoor climbing course 5 June 2010 - thoroughly recommend doing an outdoor course. The instructors are well prepared and encouraging. The course was well organised with the right level of instruction and remember you are in safe environment with well qualified instructors. Everyone was friendly and don't worry about going on your own, you'll find a climbing buddy. Give it a go!

Comment #44, posted by Vern 15/07/2010 09:45:26

Regardless of the weather the Redpoint boys give their all. Even in the wind and rain their enthusiasm and commitment never ebbs. A cracking course.
Thanks to all the Redpoint staff for their hard work.

Thanks for the course at the Roaches, it was superb. Learned a lot and had lot of fun doing it. Plus met some very friendly and jolly ppl.

What a great weekend ! The tuition was second to none and always enthusiastic ( especially with the amount of questions I came up with! ) I would like to thank the team who lead us at the roaches on the 24th August, Phil, Adrian, Chris and jim. They were always helpful and the atmosphere was always easy and jovial.
As a first timer on the gritstone it was an eye opener to climb on and the confidence was boosted by the faith in your ability by the team. Always motivational and forthcoming with technique tips and pointers.
Rock hall was quite an amazing place to stop, as its built in to the rock it adds the dimension of rock climbing even where you sit and eat.
I cant wait to get up there again, and cant thank the team enough for forwarding my enjoyment of a great sport.
