IV course 1/4

From 23 Nov 22:00 to 23 Nov 22:00

General information

Because of Covid-19 regulations it is not yet certain if/in what form this course can continue. When more information is available this agenda item will be edited and if you signed up you will also receive an update via mail. 

Do you already have some experience with toprope climbing and would you like to clear the way to climb outside? Then this course is what you are looking for. The climbing certificate Indoor lead climbing is an entry requirement for the Outdoor Single Pitch course, where you learn to climb independently. More about all courses within ESAC can be found here.

With lead climbing, your rope is not already secured at the top (as with toproping), but you raise it yourself during climbing. During the climb you regularly attach the rope to the wall, so that you never fall too far. Note: because you are sometimes standing above your last safety point, it is possible to fall a few meters. During the course you will learn how to handle this! Check this video for more clarity!

All techniques are taught to you in three evenings, so that you have a good chance to pass your exam on the fourth evening. An extra lesson and re-exam are scheduled immediately after the Christmas holiday.
