Description
This two-day course is aimed at people wanting to learn how to set up their own top-ropes to climb safely in the outdoors.
It is useful for those planning to purchase their own equipment to take friends/family out for an adventurous daytime activity, and to get a head-start into this amazing sport.
Here is a rough outline of the topics we plan to cover:
- Identify established rock-climbing areas suitable for top-rope climbing, as well as areas that are not suitable.
- Secure yourself at the top of a cliff while building an anchor.
- Build effective top-rope climbing ERNEST anchors.
- Safe abseiling using a prusik backup.
- Return at the end of your session without leaving any of your gear behind.
- Inspect fixed climbing hardware and anchors before you use them.
- Recognise the most common top-rope climbing mistakes and easy methods to mitigate them.
- Make intelligent decisions in the outdoors.
