Skills discussed will include lead belaying, catching a fall, falling, proper clipping techniques, the risks of back-clipping, proper rope-management, tying a rope through the anchor, advanced rock climbing knots, resting while climbing, proper clipping stances, and more advanced climbing techniques.

Once climbers have demonstrated a concrete understanding of the differences between top-rope and lead climbing, they will be given the opportunity to lead climb on routes with which they are familiar. This course is ideal for an experienced top rope climber or a climber who has just finished the top rope introductory course program. This is the next step toward becoming a successful climber. *Climbers must have taken an intermediate Top Rope Rock Climbing Course or display a working knowledge of the skills required in Top Rope climbing before participating in a Lead Climbing Course.

Rock Climbing: Essential Skills &...
Libby Peters has produced an excellent book to cover everything from the basics to advanced techniques. The illustrations are clear and linked to the appropriate text, the photographs are good quality and cover a variety of areas throughout the UK. A minor gripe is that the book seems poorly indexed, however despite this niggle I'm happy to recommend the book unreservedly to my clients. The book makes me want to go and climb which surely is the best endorsement. |
