Bolt – sport climbing course

Learning to sport climb, to climb bolted routes, is a way to develop as a climber that does not require as much time as learning to lead with traditional protection. In many countries sports climbing is common, and learning to safely lead bolted routes opens the door to lots of great climbing experiences on mountains around the world.
The course lasts for two full days at one or two of Bohuslän’s appropriate crags. The focus of the course is to, under safe and inspiring forms, learn how to lead safety and a good belaying technique, but also touches climbing technique and training. During the course you will also have the opportunity to get a “red card” that will allow you to lead climb and belay indoors in most climbing gyms in Sweden.
Our sport climbing course follow the norms of the Swedish Climbing Association and is led by an UIAA authorized climbing instructor.
You learn
• Safely lead bolted climbing routes
• Belay lead and second climber with various types of belaying devices

• Replace the rope at the top anchor for safe repelling and cleaning
• Strengths and limitations of climbing equipment

Our climbing lunch is an organic pasta salad with chicken, served with dressing, freshly baked bread and butter. We round that off with mom Lena’s homemade organic cinnamon buns and a coffee. Maybe even an espresso.
If there is something you are allergic to, we will of course offer another option. If so, please drop us a line and tell us.
