Belay Clinics
The Community Center is excited to offer Belay Clinics for patrons interested in learning how to tie knots and belay climbers on the Climbing Wall. Belay Clinics are offered once a month and there are two different clinics that participants may enroll in - the Standard Belay Clinic and the Lead Climbing Clinic. Both clinics are taught by qualified, certified, experienced, and knowledgeable Climbing Wall Instructors. Both clinics are four hours long (1PM-5PM).
In the Standard Belay Clinic, participants are taught proper use and care of the climbing equipment, two climbing knots, and proper belaying and climbing procedures and techniques. After successfully completing the Standard Belay Clinic including the final practical test, participants are certified to top rope belay on the Huntsville Community Center Climbing Wall. The Standard Belay Clinic is offered the first Saturday of every month.
The Lead Climbing Clinic focuses on belaying and climbing techniques for the two lead climbing ropes. Participants interested in taking the Lead Climbing Clinic must successfully complete the Standard Belay Clinic prior to enrollment. After successfully completing the Lead Climbing Clinic, participants are certified to climb and belay on all Huntsville Community Center Climbing Wall ropes. The Lead Climbing Clinic is offered the third Saturday of every month.
