Lead Climbing & Sport Anchors -C201-

This course focuses on the technical skills needed to lead routes and protect your partners in an outdoor rock climbing environment. During this clinic, students will be able to mock-lead climbs to practice clipping and rope management with the added security of a top rope. 

Additionally, the scope of this course includes sport climbing anchors and cleaning techniques to provide a good foundation for everybody who wants to become a solid leader. 

  Skills reviewed during this course: 

• Lead belaying using a tubular device (i.e. ATC) and an assisted breaking device (i.e. Grigri)
• Gear selection and racking up 
• Clipping gear safely and adequately to minimize rope drag and protect the follower
• Top rope anchors
• Top belaying for multi-pitch climbing
• Safely cleaning anchors
