We hold lead climbing practice sessions every weekday in an outdoor field.
This is a practice session for rock climbing beginners who want to climb rocks with ropes, such as those who are bouldering and lead, as well as climbers who have never done climbing so much.
The destination will be decided in consultation with the participants.
We support climbers on weekdays!
I can’t find a partner! There’s no one to go with me!
I want to solve the troubles of such weekday climbers. With that in mind, Beta holds weekly weekday seminars every month.
The rocky place to go to will be decided in consultation with the participants.
Also, even if there is only one participant, we will hold it if you can belay.
Belays and refugees can also use it.
We are taking requests for the schedule, so please let us know if you have any requests.
Before participating, please remember the basics of how to tie ropes and lead climbing systems.
If you’re not sure, check out the ★Lead Climbing Beginners Workshop. *Not required.
