Lead climbing mini course, week 1 – Flaking out your rope

Climbing Techniques | Gareth Hanson | August 9, 2010 8:18 am

For those of you who are new to lead climbing, we’re going to be providing a mini video course. Each week we’ll show you a new technique. The first week is ‘how to flake out your rope’.

Lead climbing course – week 1 from Rock Climbing UK on Vimeo.

Watching videos or reading climbing techniques is not a substitute for proper instruction. Climbing can be a dangerous activity. We would always recommend that you seek out professional instruction before attempting any of the techniques that we demonstrate.

Rock City, Hull provide lead climbing courses. You can contact them on: +44 (0)1482 223030

It's good to share!
