Ever wanted to learn how to lead “trad” climbs and not known how to start?

Traditional climbing, or trad climbing, is a style of rock climbing in which a climber places all gear required to protect against falls, and removes it when a pitch is complete.

This is the first day of a 2-day introductory traditional lead climbing course run by CCA in conjunction with K7 Adventures.

Day 1 provides foundation skills covering knots, gear, belaying and setting up belays, placing protection and staying safe. It will take place at White Rocks; cost is $100 per person (see details below).

Day 2 (date will be provided to participants of Day 1) will give you the opportunity to lead single-pitch trad climbs at Booroomba Rocks, Namadgi National Park; cost is $220 per person.

The course is being run by qualified, experienced instructors from CCA and K7 Adventures.
