Induction

Induction Courses

Full Induction

A 2 hour course, aimed at those wishing to use our roped areas and bouldering areas. Your Rock Antics Instructor for ages 18+ will teach you the skills required to climb and belay safely in an indoor climbing wall as well as some bouldering techniques and safety etiquette in the bouldering sections.

You should consider if you need to do this course and not just the boulder section (do you have a climbing partner for the other end of the rope ??)

Maximum group ratio of 4 : 1

What do I Learn?

We will teach you how to:

Belay using various devices
Tie the figure 8 knot
Use a ground anchor
Fit a harness correctly
Perform Some Climbing Techniques
Use the grading system (Bouldering & Roped Areas)
Demonstrate correct bouldering etiquette

The course includes all equipment hire, the registration fee, and you will receive a registration card at the end of the session. It also allows you entry to the centre for the rest of the day.

Rules

- If a member of staff feels that you are not up to a safe standard at the end of your session, they reserve the right to not issue you with a membership. Another session may have to be attended to get you up to a safe standard.

- If you require an Induction then booking is essential (walk-ins are possible but only if an instructor is free and is unlikely).

- If an instructor feels as though you are not taking any part of the course seriously, they reserve the right to end your session early without membership as this could be dangerous behaviour.
