102 Skilled Top Rope Climber
The Skilled Top Rope Climber course is a comprehensive
introduction to indoor climbing. It starts with the same material
included in the Basic Top Rope Climber course, but adds technique,
climbing practice, and personalized feedback on each student’s
climbing skills. We also orient you to the gym and provide you with
the understanding of our grading systems and the different types
of climbing that you can do in the gym.
We will teach you:
- Equipment: how to use a harness and belay device
- Knots: tying in with a figure 8 follow-through, plus a fisherman’s
backup
- Belaying: using a locking carabiner and ATC to confidently
keep your climbing partner safe
- Commands: how to communicate with your climbing partner
- Bouldering: have fun staying close to the ground
- Technique: using balance, flexibility, and strength to move
up a face
- After taking this course, most students can safely pass
the MetroRock belay check, necessary to climb in the gym
