From 03 Feb 19:00 to 03 Feb 22:00
Do you already have experience with indoor leadclimbing and do you want to make the step to climb outside? Then this course is what you are looking for. The climbing proficiency certificate Outdoor leadclimbing Single Pitch is namely an entry requirement for the Outdoor Multi Pitch course, where you learn to climb several rope lengths outside. More about all courses within ESAC can be found here.
Outdoor leadclimbing differs from indoor leadclimbing in a number of things. The most obvious difference is that you need a number of rope techniques outside to be able to climb safely. The most important difference, however, is the step from the hall to real rock, from overview to the unclear of the outside and from the safety of a hall to the required self-reliance outside.
Course content
In two evenings (more about second evening here) will be taught in the hall all the techniques that are needed to be able to single-pitch independently outside. Then a technology card is handed out, on which all the techniques that you know are listed. You can then show on climbing weekends that you master the techniques and they will be signed off. If an instructor thinks you are ready for the exam, this will also be indicated on the technique card and you can take the exam the following weekend. A total of two SP weekends are organized. You are expected to need two to three weekends to pass the exam. Afterwards you will receive the climbing proficiency certificate for outdoor leadclimbing single pitch and you can participate independently on climbing weekends!
Registration
There are 18 places for this course. You can register here up to and including Sunday 26 January. If there are more valid registrations than places, a selection is made based on activity within ESAC. The aim is to at least give the active members of the association a place. There is no selection evening.
