New to climbing and loving it so much that you want to become a competent, independent and safe indoor climber?

Or has it been a while since you’ve been climbing and your belaying skills are now a vague distant memory?

Then this course is for you!

We cover all the basic indoor skills, such as;

• hazards to be aware of in the climbing wall

• what kit to use, and how to check it is appropriate and safe

• tying in with the appropriate knot

• top rope belaying using a variety of devices; assisted braking devices and tubulars

• ensuring each person knows what they’re checking for in terms of safety

• communication between climber and belayer

• taking falls and fall practice

• managing weight differences

• safe auto-belay use (if the wall has them)

• encouraging safe and efficient techniques and nurturing confidence in the process

• answering any climbing related questions that you may have

2 x 1.5 hour sessions over 2 weeks
