Tasmanian Climbing Instructors Association Indoor Climbing Rescue, Training, Practise and Information Session 4 - 7pm Wed 29th May

TCIA Trainers and Assessors Kim Ladiges and Dan Johnson will be facilitating this training, practise and information session. Suited to people interested in learning more about the requirements of the current Indoor Climbing Guide Qualification, or existing Climbing Instructors of all levels wishing to practise and update their rescue skills. There is some flexibility in the program depending on enrolments and interest of the group, but an opportunity will exist to have a social climb, practise rescue techniques under expert supervision, receive training on some of the rescue component of the Indoor Climbing Guide, ask the TCIA any questions you may have, and finish with a pizza on OET.

Venue: Hobart College Climbing Wall, 50 Olinda Grove Mt Nelson. Drive into Olinda Grove, turn right at the loop road near the college and drive a couple of hundred metres to the tennis courts. Park here. The building opposite the Tennis Courts is where the wall is, in the gymnasium on the ground floor.

Clothing and Equipment: Comfortable, flexible and close fitting clothing suitable for Indoor Climbing, drink bottle, any personal medications, and hair ties. You can bring your own harness, shoes, and any rescue equipment you own or would like to use so long as it is in sound condition, fit for purpose, and in date (approximately 10 years for most helmets, ropes, harnesses and slings)

Current TCIA Instructors can also log this time for currency in your TCIA logbook against Professional Learning.

Pizza provided afterwards by OET!
