Belaying is the process of securing and safeguarding a climber by using a rope to hold the climber's weight if he/she falls. Learning to belay allows climbers to use all of the top rope stations in the gym providing more climbing opportunities than just the auto belays and bouldering. Belaying is an important part of the climbing chain of safety and one of the most important skills that any climber must master.
This class is a great option if you are new to climbing or need a refresher on belaying. This is also a great option for family members who would like to belay for each other. Children must be 14 years old to attend the class and belay at our facility.
The class will cover topics such as…
Equipment use
Safety procedures
Voice commands
Belaying
Catching a climber’s fall
