IV course 1/4

From 29 Nov 19:00 to 29 Nov 21:00

General information

We're trying to find a new time for the IV course right now.


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.

Registration

This course will have a capacity of 24 people, and the first to subscribe to this agenda item will get the places the subscriptions open on Tuesday 16th of november at 9:00(if there is already more than 24 people still subscribe and you will be on the waiting list). You can register here until Friday the 19th of November.
