Two Day Lead Rock Climbing Course – Perth, WA
The Experience
This is an instructional two-day course designed to develop the technical skills, experience and confidence needed to safely pursue lead rock climbing.
The rock face offers a full range of climbing challenges and serves as an ideal environment for learning the art of protection placement (Trad Gear - camming devices, wire stoppers, hexentrics nuts and the like) which is integral to traditional lead climbing.
Every piece of protection placed over the two days is critically reviewed by an experienced instructor, providing participants with constant feedback and ensuring appropriate safety is maintained throughout the course whilst you learn. We have a high instructor to participant ratio of 1:4.

Revision of knots and top-rope belay systems
