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. This is a basic
class to teach policies, harness use, knot tying, VSU belay skills
and basic climbing skills. 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 the
AD Outdoor Programs 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 the AD Outdoor Programs.
Group Climbing
If you are looking for something different for your group or special
event, then give us a call! We offer private climbing sessions during
non-peak hours. Sessions are generally two hours and can accommodate
15-20 people per session. Great for social events, team building, RA programs and more.
