Training event: Sports climbing belays and lowering off.
Location: Clubroom behind ‘The Rising Sun’ Abbey Lane, Sheffield.
You need to able to use your own gear to lower and set up top-ropes in sports climbing. It is important that all climbers are confident in doing this. It is only the last person who gets to lower from the fixed gear, and they need to know how to safely thread the rope through it.
If you are not sure what I am talking about or not 100% confident in re- threading an anchor under different circumstances then you should be there.
Bring you harness, lanyard or sling and 2 screwgate karabiners.
We should have time to discuss sports climbing equipment more generally: shoes, ropes, quickdraws, clipsticks and other specialist equipment.
Please contact me if their is something specific that you would like covered.
