Do you want to learn how to belay so you can go climbing on toprope with your partner independently together? Are you eager to climb outside and experience actual rock climbing? Then this course is for you.
Within 2 days we will bring you from a total beginner to a climber who can belay top rope outdoors and indoors safely. What is Top Rope Climbing? In top rope like the name already suggests, the rope is fixed at an anchor on top of a climbing route. We will put up top ropes for you and you can safely explore the heights as much as you feel comfortable. We will show you the climbing technics, basics and how to have fun on the rock. You will get lots of practice in belaying another person, how to catch a fall and you will get to know the equipment and the principles of outdoor climbing. It aims to make you feel comfortable moving on the rock, trusting the equipment, and making you fall in love with this sport even more.
It takes place in one of the locations which are suitable for beginners and that are easily accessible by car. If you don`t have a vehicle, just contact us – we often have seats free for you in our car.
If you want to become a self-sufficient climber outdoors, then we recommend to follow up this Rock Entry Course with our Advanced Course for lead climbing. There you can also learn how to install your rope on top of the routes yourself. If you want to take the Advanced Course we advise you to practice in the gym with your partner after the Rock Entry Course. That way you have more routine and will get more from the lead climbing course.
Who is this course for?
It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner, a climber with little experience, or maybe a boulderer who has no belay experience. The only requirement for this course is to be above 18 years old (or have a legal guardian with you).
