SUMMARY:Learn to Lead Round 2 T3
DESCRIPTION:Hey Everyone!Last event was so popular\, we're running a second
 .\n\nRaine and Raff will be running a Learn to Lead at Sydney Indoor Climb
 ing Gym at St Peter's next Friday 19th of September at 6:30pm.You will nee
 d to be comfortable top rope climbing an 18 as minimum experience. Lead cl
 imbing experience is not necessary. This means being able to both climb an
 d belay comfortably and competently. However\, if you've lead climbed befo
 re and just want some more practice and pointers\, or to get your St Peter
 's lead pass\, we'd love to help you out!Below is a helpful prelude by Ame
 lia:\n\n\n\nWhat is Lead Climbing?\nSome definitions for those who are uns
 ure:\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 take
 s 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 r
 opes aren't already set up. So\, the climber will have to put up quickdraw
 s along the route to clip 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\, the quickdraws are already in place. For outdoor cl
 imbing you'll need to carry them with you and place them yourself.\n\n\n\n
 We will be teaching how to lead belay with two devices: GriGri and ATC. Yo
 u'll be placed in a group of three and doing "mock leading" where one pers
 on will top rope belay you\, and the other will be lead belaying you. St P
 eter's does not allow leading with ATC so only mock leading will be allowe
 d with this device\, which is still good practice for outdoor trips. If yo
 u're competent with a GriGri\, you can do your lead test and move from moc
 k lead to lead climbing and belaying. You are not allowed to lead climb wi
 thout passing a test from the gym staff.\n\nWe can also teach how to clean
  anchors if we have time.\n\n[caption id="attachment_18275" align="alignce
