As one of the leading British female climbers of her generation, Katherine Schirrmacher and has been an inspiration to many climbers and why Moon Climbing has been delight to support her for many years. Katherine is an experienced coach, instructor and successful climber in many aspects of the sport.  Katherine loves climbing and has tried many different jobs and careers, finally choosing climbing as her way of life.  It’s this energy and experience Katherine wants to share with young climbers to help them learn, improve and find new climbing adventures.

Four years ago Katherine launched her Rock Action courses, which have been going from strength to strength. People are returning year after year, making firm friends and definitely improving their climbing.

So, if you are a young climber and already have climbing experience, either indoors or outdoors (or a bit of both) but want to learn new stuff, climb lots on rock and be up for a great time this is the week for you.  This is a great opportunity as this is the only improver course outdoors for young people in the Peak District.

Here’s a great interview with Ben Davison who came on Rock Action in 2010 and 2011.  He had only been climbing 6 months when he came on the first week.  Since then he’s gone onto achieve great things in a very short space of time.  But you can’t help feeling this is just the very start of an amazing climbing career.
