About the event
If you’ve learned how to clean a route and can lead belay but want to become a full lead climber, then this course is for you!
Note: This a two-part series. If you'd like to attend the field day, you need to have attended the classroom session. Please RSVP separately for the classroom session here.
We’ll teach you the techniques required to safely attach a rope to a wall, build an anchor at the top, and rappel back down so your friends can follow suit! All under the purview of local AMGA guides. You'll start your learning with instruction in the GH classroom followed by a day out at a local Seattle crag to practice the skills outdoors.
We’ll cover:
- Lead climbing sequence
- Quickdraws and how to clip
- Bolt inspection and evaluation
- Resting on Lead
- Falling on Lead
- How to build a sport climbing anchor
- Lead climbing commands
Who is it for?
For those that have climbed outside before and cleaned a route/lead belayed
