Intermediate Rock Climbing 

The summer months are approaching! To prepare, the KMC have arranged some training for the members: Intermediate Rock Climbing. Intermediate Rock Climbing is a 2 day course that teaches the skills needed to operate competently as a second climber that follows a lead climber, outdoors on real rock.

The course content includes:

Rock protection – placement and removal

Rigging for top and bottom rope climbing

Personal abseiling

Lead belaying

Seconding a lead climber

Descending from routes safely

Guidebooks and grading systems

Crag etiquette
