This course is only for climbers familiar with belaying with top rope climbs. The aim is to ensure their belay technique meets the requirements of the ANUMC so they can be issued with belay passes.
A belay pass is required for all members wanting to use the climbing wall. Experienced belayers can be checked off quickly rather than having to attend a whole belay course
This course will go over belay techniques for new climbers. If you already know how to belay you still need to get a belay pass from us to be able to climb at the ANU gym.
Please read the requirements and description and make sure you can attend before signing up.
Please make sure you have the following BEFORE coming to the course:
1. You need to have paid the annual wall fee of $25. This can be done via this link
2. Valid ANUMC membership; please bring a copy (on your phone is fine) of the email confirmation that ANU Sport sent you when you signed up for the club. The subject line of this email is "Membership confirmation".
3. Belay course form (filled out with as much as you can, with uni ID, expiry, ect). Available at the ANU Sport front desk.
4. $10 to pay ANU Sport's admin fee at the end of the course, can be paid by card.
You must have all 4 of the above.
Please make sure you are a paid member of the club before coming to the belay course. You can join the ANUMC via the join the club link at the top of the home screen on our website
