This intensive two
day program is designed to teach new climbers how to safely set up rock
climbs at top-roping areas. By the end of the 2 days participants should
feel comfortable heading out on their own for a day on the rocks at crags where
the top is accesible without having to lead climb. Many different anchor
setups will be taught and practised with emphasis on safety and simplicity.
Proper set up of rappels will also be covered. There are no
prerequisites for this course. However, experience has shown that
participants who have taken an Intro Weekend
or have equivelant experience will get the most out of the course. For those wishing to
learn more advanced rock or alpine climbing skills, this course is scheduled
so that participants may continue on with further instruction after the
course. Check out our other rock and alpine course listings for more
information. Arrive
the morning of and meet your guide for the day and fellow participants. After a
a quick gear check we’ll head out to one of the local top roping venues and start with
a comprehensive review of all the important knots and hitches used in setting up top roped
climbs. Natural anchoring methods and top approach to bolted climbs will be the topic of discussion
in the afternoon. The second day will begin with a practical anchor cleaning scenario and some
movement practice at Folton Rock followed by an action packed afternoon looking at more top rope
set up and tear down scenarios. At the end of the 2 days participants will be given a formal
debrief on their progress and some recommendations for continued development of their new skills.
