Upcoming Courses

Hi Climbers,

Is anyone interested in doing either a Top Rope Climbing course or a Vertical Rescue Course? Here is a bit of information about each course:

Top Rope Course:
The top-rope climbing course is designed to give you the knowledge and skills to locate a suitable climbing route (using a guide-book), rig a solid and reliable anchor system, operate a belay system and then climb the route using a range of climbing techniques. Training also covers selection and use of equipment, abseiling skills and climbing safety calls. Training is designed to be realistic and customised to suit your particular needs. An added bonus to doing this course is being able to borrow JCURCC gear to go climbing on your own!

• Duration = 2 days nominal may vary according to individual aptitude)
• Cost = Based on number of people booked. JCU students receive a 10% discount on final price (i.e. if we get 8 people on a course, each person w/ a valid JCU student ID will only have to pay $276.30).
