What is a ‘competent’ climber?
A Competent Climber is someone who is an experienced climber aged 18 and above who is competent to climb unsupervised and can be responsible for themselves. Competent climbers sign a waiver to say they’re competent and complete a short induction with our staff on their first visit.
When you first visit us, our team will ask you some key questions to understand your competency level.
- Have you climbed unsupervised at other climbing centres?
- Do you know how to tie yourself in and competently belay your partner?
If you have any questions, feel welcome to come and talk to the climbing team.
