About the top-rope course

The course gives you a thorough introduction to belaying technique, use of equipment and safe behaviour at the climbing centre. You learn to look after both your own and your climbing partner's safety, while gaining insight into common risk factors. Although this is primarily a belaying course, you also get an introduction to basic climbing technique – and practice in cooperation and communication with your climbing partner. The course suits beginners and requires no previous knowledge.

Equipment hire is included. After the course you can train with a rope for free for two weeks with us – rope, belay device, harness and shoes are included.

The way forward

Have you completed the top-rope course? Then the next natural step is to take the lead course. On the lead course you learn to climb and belay on lead – that is, to clip the rope into intermediate anchors as you move up the wall. It gives greater freedom and more flow, but makes higher demands on technique, judgement and safe belaying. After completing the lead course you're qualified to take the Brattkort test.
