SUMMARY:Learn 2 Lead @ St Peters T3
DESCRIPTION:Hey Everyone!\n\nRaine and Amelia V will be running a Learn to 
 Lead at Sydney Indoor Climbing Gym at St Peter's next Monday 15th of Septe
 mber at 6:30pm.\n\nYou will need to be comfortable top rope climbing an 18
  as minimum experience. Lead climbing experience is not necessary. This me
 ans being able to both climb and belay comfortably and competently. Howeve
 r\, if you've lead climbed before and just want some more practice and poi
 nters\, or to get your St Peter's lead pass\, we'd love to help you out!\n
 \nBelow is a helpful prelude by Amelia:\n\n\n\nWhat is Lead Climbing?\nSom
 e 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 d
 o 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. Wh
 en you go climbing outdoors\, the ropes aren't already set up. So\, the cl
 imber 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 quickdraw\, yo
 u can fall a few metres. In indoor gyms like St Peter's\, the quickdraws a
 re already in place. For outdoor climbing you'll need to carry them with y
 ou and place them yourself.\n\n\n\nWe will be teaching how to lead belay w
 ith 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 ot
 her will be lead belaying you. St Peter's does not allow leading with ATC 
 so only mock leading will be allowed with this device\, which is still goo
 d practice for outdoor trips. If you're competent with a GriGri\, you can 
 do your lead test and move from mock lead to lead climbing and belaying. Y
 ou 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.\n\n[caption i
