Mark coaching at Bootcamp, Craggy2

Craggy2 Sutton is currently looking for freelance  instructors to join our team. We are interested in anyone who has a passion for climbing and is keen to pass this on to our customers.

The role of an instructor is a vital and very important part of Craggy Island as they are normally the first person that the customer meets when they come climbing at the centre.

Freelance instructors teach a variety of courses from childrens Cave & Climb parties, to Intro Sessions or our regular Kids Club. We also do a lot of work with schools and youth groups. We are therefore looking for people who can communicate and instruct adults as well as kids.

To become an instructor you will have to take part in our site specific training (SST) which is a 4 hour course that takes you through all of basics of teaching at our centre. Once you have taken the training you will then be required to complete a set amount of shadowing hours (this will depend on previous experience). Once completed you can then book in for an assessment.

Providing that you pass you will then be able to book yourself in for work at Craggy2 and teach our customers. The majority of the work is in the evening and at weekends although there is some work available during the daytime in the week. If you complete 10 hours of instructing at Craggy2 in a month you climb for free at both Craggy Islands the next month! 

You do not need to have had previous instructing experience to book onto the course but you will need to be a competent climber.

The next course that we are running is on Tuesday 10^th January 2012 from 18.15 – 21.45. The course costs £25.00 and to book you place please call the Reception team on 0844 880 8866.

If you would like more information then please contact gareth@craggy-island.com

Christmas will come early for Craggy2 as we get the company of our merry route setting elves next week in the Rock Room.

They’ll be hard at work setting from Monday 19th through to Wednesday 21st of December. So if you’ve any projects left in the Rock Room then now is the time to come down and finish them off in preparation of a whole room full of new routes!

A new set also means it’s time for Boulder League – so see you on Thursday 22nd December for the last comp of the year with festive prizes. For more details see the Craggy Island Facebook site. The unconfirmed reports that our very own Luke will be dressing up as Santa for the night are completely unfounded…

Twas a night of foggy fun at Round 3 of Craggy 2′s very own Boulder League. So without further ado here’s the current scores:

Well done to all the competitors and it’s looking like the hard category will go to the wire with 3 people battling it out for the coveted top spot. Round 4 is only a few weeks away on Thursday 22nd December. Rumour has it that there might even be mince pies…. see http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/176525855775925/ for more details.
