TOP ROPE CLIMBING
TOP ROPE CLIMBING
Description:
Top rope climbing is done with the help of a rope and a harness. The ropes are already fixed to the top of the walls to insure your safety! You need at least 2 people for this type of climbing. You will also need an accreditation to belay a climber. This can be obtained by taking the top rope climbing course or by passing a direct test which is non-refundable for your first visit.

LEAD CLIMBING
LEAD CLIMBING
Description:
Lead climbing is reserved for more experienced climbers. Just like top rope climbing, you will need a rope and a harness, but the main difference is that the rope is not fixed to the top of the route. During the climb, the lead climber will need to clip his rope into quickdraws. Falls in the harness in lead climbing tend to be more impressive and complex
Prerequisite:
Take a lead climbing course or pass the lead climbing accreditation
