Top-Rope Guide Training
The scheme can be entered at this level, TRG is a foundation level qualification that covers the skills required to look after participants in top rope climbing and abseil environments, participants on the TRG courses should be active climbers (though there is no requirement to lead climb) and should be familiar with climbing in outdoor environments.
Entry requirements:
This course is designed for those who wish to gain qualification with the ACIA in order to work in the rock-climbing industry in a top rope / abseil guiding context. No previous guiding experience is necessary, though participants do need to be actively involved in rock climbing (indoors / outdoors) and have logged at least ten days personal experience with climbing/ abseil activities at outdoor crags in a variety of areas. Candidates will be required to provide their own equipment and personal climbing gear for the course.
Remi
He kept everything clear, safe and genuinely fun. We took turns leading throughout the trip, and being up on those routes and towers with Aaron backing us up was unreal — I didn’t have a single “oh no” moment with him around.
Just a heads-up: it’s a solid four days of climbing and learning. You’ll finish each day tired in a good way, but it’s absolutely worth it. And honestly, if you’re still reading reviews at this point, you’ve definitely got what it takes.
If you want to learn heaps, have a cracking time and walk away with great memories, The Climbing Company is your go-to.
