Building Safe Anchors & Setting up Top Ropes
Learn from the best in the business how to build safe belays and become more independent at a single pitch crag.
We'll do our best to cover all the basic fundamentals to help you become more independent outdoor rock climbing. Top-roping is a great way to access climbing outdoors safely but you'll need to know how to set up a top-rope and the risks and hazards that are related to this. You'll learn how to identify secure anchors, place trad gear such as wires and cams and then be taught the best rope techniques to link these anchors together to create a safe main anchor. Personal safety is key, as is anchor and rope choice, as well at the route you've chosen to climb suited to the level of ability to those in the group.
