INSTRUCTOR / BELAY LICENCE SESSIONS
Our qualified climbing instructors can help you discover the excitement and thrill of climbing any weekday evening by teaching you the basics in a safe environment.
They’ll teach you to belay, which is how to keep your climbing partner safe while they ascend the wall, and help you develop your climbing skills and style as you progress through our graded climbing wall. Once you gain a Lakes Leisure belay licence you’ll be free to climb without instrustor supervision.
Your safety is paramount and all instructors hold a minimum qualification of New Zealand Outdoor Instructor Association Rock Level 1 or similar foreign equivalent.
