The lead course is ideal for anyone wanting to take the next step in climbing, whether you have just finished our beginner course or you’re wanting to build confidence and knowledge before you head outdoors. This course is only suited to people who already have rock climbing experience.
Staff members who teach this course are all experienced coaches and outdoor climbers, including Kale McCauley, Lila MacGibbon, and Sam Sykes.
The course consists of two sessions, each with two hours of coaching and direction. Once the course is completed, and you have successfully led and belayed, you’ll be marked off as ‘competent’ to lead climb at our Canberra Indoor Rock Climbing facilities.
If you feel you are already competent at lead climbing and do not need the course, and wish to acquire a lead pass at our gyms, please email us at canrock@iinet.net.au to set up an appointment to get checked off.
Notes!
- The dates and times of the course change each time to meet as many people’s schedules as possible
- Price: $100 (includes gear)
- It is possible to fail the course and not receive a lead pass. In these situations, additional training sessions can be arranged.
- Successful completion of the course does not necessarily mean you are ready to climb outdoors. Outdoor climbing is inherently more dangerous than climbing in gyms. Please make sure you have ample practice before going outdoors, and bring an experienced outdoor climber with you if possible.
How to Enrol
We have to keep our lead courses small to make sure everyone receives adequate instruction, so spots are limited. To get on our waiting list, please email canrock@iinet.net.au with your name and contact information. At the same time, you can also ask us any questions you have about the course, the equipment, and how the sessions are structured.
Please make sure you understand our refund policy before committing to this course.
