Hi All!
Sam, Xab and myself will be running a Learn to Lead trip at St Peter’s this weekend! This will give you the opportunity to learn how to lead climb AND lead belay, while being kept safe on top-rope 🙂.
The plan is to meet at Sydney Indoor Climbing Gym at 10:00am on Sunday!
What to Bring:
- Own harness with a belay loop (if not possible let us know)
- Preferred Belay device (I will bring a few spare ATCs if you don’t have any preference )
- Shoes / chalk / water etc
Pre-Reading
We will go over everything on the day, but please come with an understanding of the principles of lead climbing so we can spend as much time practicing on the wall as possible. These include:
- How to tie into the rope, and rope management
- How to belay a lead climber
- How to clip and leading principles
- Lead climbing commands
If you are unfamiliar with these, the following articles will go through everything
