[Indoor] Lead Climbing Beginners Lesson 2-part system Part 1 [Climb] Part 2 [Belay] (3F) Reservation required Scheduled for March 2025

Beta Climbing Gym Seminar/Lead Climbing Beginner Seminar March 2025



Lead climbing is the basis of all rope climbing. If you want to climb using ropes, you must first master lead climbing.

Once you have mastered the basics, such as the system of lead climbing and how belaying works, move on to the next step, such as multi-pitch climbing.

This seminar is a seminar to learn ropework and other basic techniques for lead climbing.
The feature of this course is that you can learn comprehensively and theoretically. You can also learn about the manners and rules for both outdoor and indoor climbing.

It is suitable for beginners to lead climbing and those who want to review. It will be held at the beta 3F lead wall “Shinjuku Face”, so you can take the course without being affected by the weather.
The course will be divided into two parts, with lectures and practice on lead climbing [Part 1] “Climbing Techniques” and [Part 2] “Belay Techniques”.
In the second part, belay techniques, we will respond to your requests regarding brake-assisted belay devices such as GriGri, in addition to tube-type belay devices such as ATC and Rebelso.
There are many things you need to know about both lead and belay, and there are many things you need to be able to do, so each part is 2.5 to 3 hours, for a total of about 5 to 6 hours. It will be a very dense time. You can also take only the first or second part.

It is not guaranteed that you will be able to practice lead climbing on a lead gym or outdoor rock immediately after taking this course.
It is necessary to practice clipping and belaying movements repeatedly so that they can be done smoothly, and to understand safety management such as risks on rocks, how to use gear correctly, and what to do if you fall.

Beta provides the following follow-up to ensure that participants have a safe debut in lead climbing.

1) Rope training session (every Monday from 7:00 p.m.)
Rope training sessions are held mainly for those who have taken Beta’s rope training course (lead/multi).
Beta staff will be on-site to help with practice.
It is okay to participate alone. You can practice with people with the same purpose, or a staff member will be your practice partner.
There is no particular participation fee. Just the gym fee is OK.
Rope and gear rental is free.

2) Rope gear rental is free
Rope and gear (ATC, harness, quickdraw) rental is free at any time for course participants. Please come and practice whenever it is convenient for you.

3) Outdoor Lead Climbing Beginners Practice Session
We hold lead climbing practice sessions on outdoor rocks.
The basic practice is top rope climbing, but upon request, we also practice lead climbing and belaying, taking into account skills, etc.

4) Order rope course (every Friday)
We also hold courses on individual topics such as belaying and building top rope anchors.
The content and schedule can be arranged according to your requests.

You can also take the “Lead Climbing Beginners Course” course as many times as you like.
Let’s learn the proper way to lead!

Lead climbing is the foundation of all rope climbing. If you want to climb using a rope, you first need to learn lead climbing.
Once you’ve mastered the basics, such as lead climbing systems and belay mechanics, it’s time to move on to the next step, such as multi-pitch climbing.

This workshop is a workshop that teaches the rope work and other basic techniques for lead climbing.
Suitable for lead climbing beginners and those who want a refresher. The class will be held on the Beta 3F lead wall “Shinjuku Face”, so you can attend without worrying about the weather.
Lead climbing [Part 1] “Climbing technique” and [Part 2] “Belay technique” will be taught in two parts, combining classroom learning and practice.
Both have a lot of things to know and things to do, 2.5 hours for each part, 5 hours in total. It’s going to be a dense time.

Therefore, even if you take this course, you will not be able to practice lead climbing immediately at the lead gym or Sotoiwa.
It is necessary to practice repeatedly so that clipping and belaying can be performed smoothly, and to understand safety management such as the risks on rocky areas, how to use the correct gear, and what to do in case of a fall.

In Beta, students follow up on a safe lead climbing debut with:

1) Rope practice (every Monday from 19:00)
We hold rope practice sessions mainly for those who have taken the beta rope course (lead/multi).
Beta staff will be on hand to help you practice.
Participation by yourself is also fine. You can either practice with someone who has the same goal as you, or the staff will be your practice partner.
There is no participation fee. Only gym usage fee is OK.
Rope and gear rentals are free.

2) Free rope gear rental
Course participants can rent ropes and gear (ATC, harness, quickdraw) for free at any time.
Please come and practice when it is convenient for you.

3) Outer rock lead climbing beginner practice session
We are holding a lead climbing practice meeting at the outside rock.
It’s basically a top rope climbing practice, but I also practice climbing on a lead and belaying in consideration of my skills, etc., depending on the request.

4) Order rope course
We also offer courses on individual topics such as belaying and top rope fulcrum construction.
Content and schedule can be arranged according to your request.

Also, you can take the “Lead Climbing Beginner Course” course as many times as you like.
Let’s learn how to lead properly!
