Climbing refreshers

A quick confidence boost to get you safely back on the wall.

Top-rope Refresher

Had a break from climbing? Whether life got busy or other priorities took over, this session is designed to help competent top-rope climbers refresh key skills like tying in and belaying. It’s a chance to rebuild confidence, ask questions and make sure you’re climbing safely – so you can get back to enjoying your sessions and keeping your partner safe.

This course is for people who already know how to climb with ropes but need a refresher.

Lead Climbing Refresher

We also offer a Lead Climbing Refresher session for competent lead climbers returning after a break who want to refresh their lead belaying, clipping and knot-tying knowledge and skills.

Booking

To book a refresher, email glasgow@theclimbingacademy.com – ideally with a month’s notice letting them know if you are interesting in a top-rope or lead refresher. Participants must be aged 18 or over and due to the nature of roped climbing, bookings can only be taken in pairs. Please note: after the session, your instructor may recommend further training if needed.

Other TCA roped courses If you’ve never roped climbed or belayed before, you should book a Roped Beginners' course. If you can top-rope but want to take the next step we offer Learn to Lead courses. If you need a refresher on something else, please speak to staff to discuss your needs. We will be happy to help. Just email glasgow@theclimbingacademy.com.
