Intro to Top Rope Belay (Ages 13+)

YMCA at Pabst Farms
10/14/23 - 10/14/23
VIEW

Looking to gain a new climbing wall skill? Learn how to top rope climb at the Y (YMCA members only)! Top Rope climbing is a style of climbing where the climber is securely attached to a rope which then passes up, through an anchor system at the top of the climb, and back down to a belayer at the base of the climb.

During this class our instructors will cover the figure eight knot, PBUS belay method, how to safely give and take slack and how to communicate with your belay partner. After you take the class, you will need to take the Intro to Top Rope Belay Assessment 24+ hours later to pass the class (please take assessment during Open Climb hours). The Intro to Top Rope Belay Assessment will be a short quiz, and you must show a YMCA Climbing Wall Instructor that you can tie a proper figure eight knot. You will need to have a YMCA Climbing Wall Orientation on your account BEFORE attending this class. (Ages 13+)

Ages 4+ may climb using the top rope routes, but their parent/guardian will need to take the Intro to Top Rope Belay class and pass the Intro to Top Rope Belay Assessment.

We do NOT accept belay certifications from other gyms.
