Tekiila organizes one or two rock climbing courses during the summers depending on the demand for them. The course includes about a 2-3 hour theory lesson at Tamppi Areena on one day, and practical training lesson on another day at some local climbing rock. In the course participants are taught the basic differences between outdoor and indoor climbing, how to make different top rope anchors for rope climbing, how to lower themselves with rope from different points of the rock and participants are informed about the common safety protocols. In addition of course the course will include climbing and belaying outdoors.
It is recommended that a participant would have basic understanding and experience with top-rope climbing and belaying. Participants don’t have to have any ear, however if you have some equipment, inform the course officials so we have an idea about the demand for equipment.
