2-Day Accelerator Rock
Accelerator Rock is our most popular course, combining top roping, rappelling and sport lead climbing skill sets. This is the perfect course for gym climbers who are already top roping or lead climbing in a gym facility wanting to safely transition into outdoor climbing, which combines Rock 2 & 3 training modules.
In order to transition from top-rope and/or lead climbing indoors to outdoors, there are several important foundation skills required to do this safely. Accelerator Rock will hasten your learning outcomes to include how to safely approach a cliff edge in order to build, rappel, belay, communicate and climb from your own fixed anchor systems. You will also learn sport lead climbing skills such as clipping bolts, lead & top belays, anchor threads & lowers, single & multi-pitch lead strategies, rock climbing movement skills, advanced rappels and basic rescue techniques. Clients appreciate two days of training in order to review and practice these complex systems and gain the confidence required to safely begin top rope and sport lead climbing on their own outdoors. If you are not an already experienced top rope climber, ideally with prior rappel experience, we strongly recommend you consider our 3-day Complete Rock Course. Accelerator Rock is also a perfect foundation for our more advanced Placement Protection lead course.
