Indoor Climbing Guide Assessment
This is a qualification aimed directly at indoor and artificial wall climbing staff. A qualified Indoor Climbing guide can guide, teach and supervise climbing activities at indoor and outdoor artificial climbing walls and towers, including top roped climbing, bouldering and auto belayed climbing. In doing so an Indoor Climbing Guide always maintains a high level of control over clients (clients do not lead climb)

The Top Rope Anchors and Abseiling course offered great enjoyment especially with Aaron as our guide. Aaron provided clear information on the different types of equipment and how it should be suitably set-up. I highly recommend the climbing company to individuals seeking to start rock climbing and abseiling or who wish to refresh skills and techniques.
Our group spent the weekend with Aaron learning Anchoring, abseiling, and top roping skills. His teaching methods were very clear and understandable. He was calm, professional, and reassuring, which is what I personally needed due to my fears of risk and heights. By the end of the course I was able to confidently place an anchoring system that I was confident in and took away the skills that would allow me to do it outside of the class environment.
Had Aaron teach me and three others over two days. Very informative and answers any questions you have with climbing with confidence. Over all great person and teacher
I hired Hamid for a full day of private climbing tuition in the Cathedrals and we had the best day. Hamid knew exactly what I wanted in preparation for Nepal and he very efficiently set up some climbing courses on the steep rock. He stepped me through at the beginning and offered a nice balance of freedom toward the end. His explanations were clear and helpful (even when I became a little frustrated with some of my knots.) The training was perfect for me and Hamid was fabulous.
This was a good course! Aaron was patient and very knowledgeable about all things climbing. I feel better prepared for my lead test. I would recommend this course if you have done some top roping indoor and outside and want to push to next level.
Great course I left with so much more knowledge and also knowing what I needed to work on for the assessment. Can’t recommend the climbing company more highly.
Fantastic day out. Thank you Aaron for your patience and providing a wonderful experience for the kids
Having just completed the indoor lead course with Aaron, I cannot recommend these folks enough.
Personally, coming from a background of strong climbing skills but weak technical knowledge, this course provided the perfect introduction to the basics of indoor lead climbing.
The combination of laid-back energy and just the right amount of theory and practice enabled the group to confidently progress through the course.
This was the perfect first step, and I now feel enabled to continue my climbing journey.
Thanks, Climbing Company!
