Top Rope Climbing Course
This course is designed for anyone who wants more knowledge to take their climbing to the next level. Whether your currently climbing in a gym and want to take it outdoors or your climbing outdoors with a club or friends and want to know how it all works.
The top-rope climbing course is designed to give students the knowledge and skills to locate a suitable climbing route (using a guide book), rig a solid and reliable anchor system to PACI’s high standard, operate a belay system and climb the route using a range of climbing techniques.
At Adventures around Brisbane we pride ourselves in being able to give you the skills in all situations. We run our Top Rope Climbing Course over 2 days and 2 different locations. That means you will rig anchors on different rock types, see and use different anchor points (rocks, tress, bollards, ring bolts), so you are prepared to tackle any climbing your heart desires.
The skills you will learn are Top Rope (Bottom Belay) Climbing, Top Rope (Top Belay) Climbing.
