Lead Climbing

Lead Climbing is a more technical form of roped climbing

• For more experienced climbers
• You climb in pairs — one climbing, one on the ground 'belaying'
• The lead climber takes the rope up with them clipping it through metal gates at intervals as they go (unlike top-roping where the rope is already in place at the top of the climb)
• The techniques of both climbing and belaying are more technical than in top-roping

Our lead course can teach you the additional skills you need for indoor lead climbing. To participate, you need to be top roping French grade 5+ confidently on a regular basis. You must also have at least 6 months experience belaying with an ATC device.
