Belay Certification

Belay Certification provides participants the opportunity to obtain independence through the knowledge of basic climbing and belaying skills. Belaying is the process of managing the climbing rope, taking rope in or paying it out, depending on the direction in which the climber is moving, and locking it off securely in the event of a fall.

As a belayer, you have in your hands the safety of a climber high above who is counting on you to perform well. Therefore, our goal is to produce competent and safe belayers in our facility.
