What is the minimum skill required for this trip?

This trip is suitable for most levels, but basic rock climbing skills, such as belaying and top-roping, are necessary. Participants should be in good physical condition - the more fit you are, the more you'll enjoy yourself, and the more you'll improve.

How much extra money should people budget?

-
What type of instruction will I receive?
-
Rockbuster's performance coaching is ongoing. You'll receive the following types of instruction:
Slab/vertical ground: to focus on footwork. You'll be taught how to use your balance and how to place your feet to achieve the most efficient way to move up on the rock (leading comfortably F5 or more).
Overhangs: to develop skills that help you handle climbing steep rocks, save energy, and climb more confidently and efficiently (leading comfortably F6c or more).
Onsight/red point: aimed for climbers who are confident enough with their balance, foot work and have already acquired the basics of climbing technique. In this course, Rockbuster's can focus on more challenging routes (leading F6c and above), redpoints and onsight attempts.
