Belay Certification Class _____________________ Are you tired of waiting for climbing wall staff member to belay you for a climb? This class is for people that have a passion for climbing and want to increase their skill level.

After the class you will be certified to belay anybody that has signed off on their waiver for a personal belayer. If you want to have another lifelong activity contact CORE and set up a class. Class Size = 2-6 people Belay Certified Climbers ________________________________________ Every VSU member who wishes to become certified to belay must take the "VSU Certified Belayer" skills test. This test involves a hands-on component and is required regardless of experience. You must pass with 100% accuracy to receive approval of being Belay Certified. Once certified you will be able to belay climbers that have signed of on the personal belayer on their waiver form. Certified belayers should not allow any non-belay certified members to belay. If you are interested in becoming belay certified, speak with a Climbing Wall Staff member or Contact CORE.
