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 this Wednesday 4th of March 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 c
 limb and belay comfortably and competently (you don't need to climb hard g
 rades\, just be comfortable climbing/belaying!). However\, if you've lead 
 climbed before and just want some more practice and pointers\, or to get y
 our St Peter's lead pass\, we'd love to help you out!\n\nThis is a great o
 pportunity to upskill and will be especially helpful if you have been cons
 idering coming to the training weekend on March 7-8.\n\n\n\nWhat is Lead C
 limbing?\nSome definitions for those who are unsure:\n\nTop roping is how 
 you normally climb in indoor gyms. The ropes are already set up\, and all 
 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 co
 mplicated. 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 clip 
 the rope into as they go. If you fall and you're above the bolt with the q
 uickdraw\, you can fall a few metres. In indoor gyms like St Peter's\, the
  quickdraws are already in place. For outdoor climbing you'll need to carr
 y 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 group 
 of three and doing "mock leading" where one person will top rope belay you
 \, and the other will be lead belaying you. St Peter's does not allow lead
 ing with ATC so only mock leading will be allowed with this device\, which
  is still good practice for outdoor trips. If you're competent with a GriG
 ri\, you can do your lead test and move from mock lead to lead climbing an
 d belaying. You are not allowed to lead climb without passing a test from 
 the gym staff.\n\nWe can also teach how to clean anchors if we have time.\
