SUMMARY:Learn 2 Lead @ St Peter's!
DESCRIPTION:Hey Everyone!\n\nWe will be running a Learn to Lead at Sydney I
 ndoor Climbing Gym at St Peter's on Wednesday the 1st of July at 6:30pm.\n
 \nYou will need to be comfortable top rope climbing as minimum experience.
  Lead climbing experience is not necessary. This means being able to both 
 climb and belay comfortably and competently (you don't need to climb hard 
 grades\, just be comfortable climbing/belaying!). However\, if you've lead
  climbed before and just want some more practice and pointers\, or to get 
 your St Peter's lead pass\, we'd love to help you out!\n\n\n\nWhat is Lead
  Climbing?\nSome definitions for those who are unsure:\n\nTop roping is ho
 w you normally climb in indoor gyms. The ropes are already set up\, and al
 l you need to do is climb whilst your belayer takes in the slack as you go
 . If you fall\, you hang in the same spot.\n\nLead climbing is a bit more 
 complicated. When you go climbing outdoors\, the ropes aren't already set 
 up. So\, the climber will have to put up quickdraws along the route to cli
 p the rope into as they go. If you fall and you're above the bolt with the
  quickdraw\, you can fall a few metres. In indoor gyms like St Peter's\, t
 he quickdraws are already in place. For outdoor climbing you'll need to ca
 rry them with you and place them yourself.\n\n\n\nWe will be teaching how 
 to lead belay with two devices: GriGri and ATC. You'll be placed in a grou
 p of three and doing "mock leading" where one person will top rope belay y
 ou\, and the other will be lead belaying you. St Peter's does not allow le
 ading with ATC so only mock leading will be allowed with this device\, whi
 ch is still good practice for outdoor trips. If you're competent with a Gr
 iGri\, you can do your lead test and move from mock lead to lead climbing 
 and belaying. You are not allowed to lead climb without passing a test fro
 m the gym staff.\n\nWe can also teach how to clean anchors if we have time
 .\n\n[caption id="attachment_18275" align="aligncenter" width="168"] Mock
