Top Rope Climbing Course

Maybe you’ve spent some time getting strong in the gym, but feel as though it’s time to move outdoors. Or maybe you joined us for one of our awesome climbing sessions and it’s got you itching to touch more rock. Either way, the skills you need to get climbing outside are covered in our Top Rope Climbing Course.

This is a nationally accredited course designed to teach you the best practices for safe climbing at any crag with top rope access – think Kangaroo Point, Mt Ngungun or Brooyar.
