Mock Leading & Lead Belaying Basics (2-Week Course)

Interested in learning the fundamentals of lead climbing and belaying? While our facility doesn’t allow for actual lead climbing due to our short walls, this two-week course is the perfect introduction to the skills and techniques.

Participants will learn the essentials of mock leading, including how to clip efficiently, identify and avoid back clips and z-clips, and manage rope appropriately while climbing. The course will also cover the fundamentals of lead belaying: how to give slack effectively, where to position yourself, and how to maintain clear communication with your climber.

Important Note: This class is for educational purposes only. We will not be catching or taking lead falls during this course.

Perfect for climbers looking to build a foundation before venturing into lead climbing outdoors or in other gyms!
