AUTOBELAY INDUCTION
Auto belay inductions now available, only 30mins sessions!
Autobelays are self belay devices located on the taller walls that do not require a belay partner.
By the end of the session, you will have learnt how to put your harness on safely, and the safe use of the autobelays.
ROPE SKILLS
If you’ve had a break from using your skills, or need to brush up and refresh your belay technique, this session is designed to improve your rope skills and get you belaying confidently and safely again!
Combined with the Rope’s Social, a climbing instructor is present to support you to correct and refine your technique as well as find other climbers!
There is a minimum requirement to have previoulsy learnt the roped skills and to know how to belay (even if you are rusty).
Please note, these sessions are for over 18’s who already have roped climbing experience.If you haven’t yet learnt how to belay, please look at our Beginner’s Courses
BEGINNERS COURSE
This course teaches you basic rope safety skills to allow you to rope climb at our centre and other roped climbing centres.
Over 2 weeks of 2.5hr sessions, this course covers tying in with a fig 8 knot, belaying with an ATC device, how to use ground anchors, and how to use auto belays safely.
INTRO TO LEAD
Welcome to the next level of climbing! When compared to Top Roping, Lead climbers clip their rope in as they go, which isn’t attached to the anchor at the top of their climb already.
This does mean there are a few more risks involved, such as larger falls.
In these sessions we aim to make you aware of the risks, and different belay styles, and teach you how to manage these as you climb.
This is not a guaranteed sign off as everyone learns at different rates, however by the end of the sessions you will have been taught how to lead climb and lead belay safely.
This course is for ages 14 years+
PRIVATE INSTRUCTED SESSION
