We hold rope climbing practice sessions in outdoor fields. Lead climbing, multi-pitch climbing, crack climbing.
【Lead climbing practice session for beginners】
We climb on top rope or lead on rocky areas with easy routes.
Recommended for those who are just starting out, who want to step up from walking to variations on rocky ridges, and those who want to practice lead or master on easy routes.
All necessary gear (shoes, helmets, harnesses, chalk) can be rented (550 yen per item).
We will hold the session at Mt. Washizu, Mt. Ogawa, etc.
【Introduction to cracks】
This is a practice session for beginners to cracks. We climb cracks on top rope. We will give a lecture on how to decide jams and how to set up protection.
Depending on your skill level, you can set up protection (cams) while climbing or climb on lead.
For a better understanding of jamming and protection installation, please take the indoor course “Introduction to Cracks” beforehand.
This will be held at Yugawara Makuiwa, Ogawayama, etc.
【Multi-Pitch Introduction】
Participants will form a party and climb 4 pitches of a gentle route. Fixed ropes will be set up, and an environment will be prepared where you can climb while ensuring your safety if necessary. There will be staff at the end of the pitch to confirm how to set anchors and belay.
You will climb under the safety management of staff, but since you will be climbing on your own, please check the ropework in advance. If you are unsure, please take the indoor course “Multi-Pitch Beginner Course”.
This will be held at Yugawara Makuiwa, Goku Slab, etc.
【Lead Climbing Practice Session】
This is a practice session for experienced lead climbers. We will climb problems ranging from 5.8 to 5.11a using top rope. Depending on your skill level, you can also climb on lead. If you would like to practice belaying, a staff member will belay you.

Crack] #8 Introduction to cracking 4/16 19:30~
Learn cracks and expand your possibilities!
There’s a multi-level climb I want to do, but I can’t try it because there’s a crack part.
There’s an area that’s warm even in winter, but I’ve never done cracks before, so I can’t go. .
Have you ever been unable to do something you want to do because you can’t climb cracks?
Yes, if you can climb cracks, the world will open up.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that it’s okay if you can’t climb! Even if you can get protection from cracks, the world will open up.
Also, people who do cracks…especially wide ones, are weirdos! This is a misunderstanding.
Please consult Beta Climbing Gym.
If you don’t have enough reach and are struggling to make progress on the face, cracks don’t matter in terms of reach.
There’s sure to be a crack of the right size waiting for you.
Do you think it’s too early for cracks?
First, try getting caught in them.
New fun awaits you.
After learning indoors, try climbing outdoors!
We also hold outdoor crack lessons every month.
We also hold crack lessons on weekdays if requested by the climbing club.

⇒ “Multi-pitch climbing practice session”
If you want to climb natural rocks with a rope, please join us.
We also want people who mainly do variations of mountain climbing to join us. Being able to climb not only increases the number of routes you can go on, but also leads to safety.
We accept requests for dates, so please let us know if you have any requests.
Before participating, please remember the basics about how to tie ropes and the lead climbing system.
If you don’t know, please participate in the ★Lead Climbing Beginners Seminar held on Beta 3F. *Not required.
For the multi-pitch practice session, participants will pair up and climb with a rope under the safety management of staff. In reality, there is no help from staff, and participants will climb on their own.
For details, please see the Multi-Pitch Workshop page.

If you are visiting a rock formation that cannot be accessed by public transport and you do not have a car or other means of access, you can ride in a staff member’s car (travel costs are around 4,000-8,000 yen). The price and meeting time vary depending on the rock formation, but generally we meet at the underground rotary at the west exit of Shinjuku Station between 5-6am.
*About transportation costs
If many people wish to ride in a staff member’s car (4 or more people), we will arrange a rental car.
In that case, the estimated cost is as follows.
In the case of Ogawayama
Rental car + fuel costs: about 20,000 yen, highway (Hatsudai⇔Sudama) about 8,000 yen
28,000 yen divided by the number of people.

【クラック】＃6 クラック入門 19:30～
クラックを身につけ可能性を広げよう！
登りたいマルチがあるのだけど、クラックパートがあるので、トライできない。
冬でも暖かいエリアがあるのだけど、クラックやったことないので、行けない。。
など、クラックが登れないことで、やりたいことが出来てないってことはありませんか？

あと、クラック・・・特にワイドをやる人は変態だ！ これは誤解です。
ベータクライミングジムにご相談ください。
リーチが足りなくてフェイスで伸び悩んでる方、クラックはリーチ関係ありません。
あなたの体のパーツに合った割れ目がきっと待ってます。
クラックはまだ早いとか思ってませんか？
まずは、挟まってみましょう。
