Safety rules
Climbing is a potentially dangerous activity. It's important that you're aware of the risk and follow HUT Moss's safety rules.
Age limits
General safety rules at the climbing centre
Belaying others
To belay on top rope or lead you must have a belay certificate! A person over 18 with a Brattkort (lead and top-rope certificate) or a top-rope certificate (top-rope belaying) can supervise a person without a belay certificate. The person supervising must stand on the ground, always hold the dead end of the rope and give the belayer their full attention.
Climbing with auto-belay
Anyone can climb with auto-belay. Before you climb with auto-belay you must have read and understood the following:
Via ferrata climbing routes
Anyone can climb the Via ferrata routes. Before you start you must have read and understood the following:

Bouldering
Anyone can boulder with us, but we have some rules to prevent accidents.
Bouldering has no weight limit.
Climbing with a rope and belay device
Familiarise yourself with and follow the Climbing Safety Code!
Everyone is allowed to climb on top rope and lead on all walls after instruction.
To belay on top rope or lead, a belay certificate is required!
Top-rope certificate: for top-rope belaying. Brattkort: for lead and top-rope belaying.
If you don't have a belay certificate, you can be supervised by a person over 18 with a belay certificate if:
If you took a belay course at HUT Moss less than 3 months ago, you can practise in the course wall, with auto-belay as a backup.
Also remember:
If you use your own equipment, it must be UIAA-approved with CE approval. That you only hold on to climbing holds and don't put your fingers into bolts, carabiners or other steel.
Lead climbing:
A Brattkort is required to belay on lead!
If you behave irresponsibly or lack belay skills, the instructors may ask you to use auto-belay or bouldering, even if you have a belay certificate.
The training area
Access to the training room is included in the ticket.
