Top Rope Anchor Setting for Gym Climbers
Zen Climb3A Marilyn Ave.Toronto, ON M1S 1B9
Pre-requisites: Gym rock climbing experience. Outdoor climbing experience is a plus. Pre-course Prep: We will send you links to a series of video clips to help you prepare for this course. You will need to learn to tie the following knots and hitches before coming to the course: figure 8 knot, figure 8 on a bite, overhand knot, overhand on a bite, water knot, bowline knot, clove hitch, double fisherman's knot, prusik hitch and overhand slip knot. This way, you won't be wasting time on repeatedly learning how to tie these knots during the course. Instead, you will be able to focus on how to use these knots for anchor setting. (Near the end of the course, while under-prepared participants may feel a bit information overload since a brain can only work so hard for so many hours, adequately prepared participants may still have the mental capacity to learn add-on rappelling techniques.) Duration: 8 hours or more in 1 day (6 or 7 hours or more when only 1 or 2 participants show up and it becomes a private or semi-private session). Post-course Review: You will have access to a series video clips to review key lessons of the course for a limited time period. This helps you consolidate your learning, so you can feel even more confident to return to the cliff to set up top rope anchors independently for the first time!
