How do I start climbing?
If you never tried roped climbing before, the best way to start is by getting a green card. The green card is like a driver's license that shows that you know how to climb and belay safely on top rope.
The best way of getting a green card is by taking a top rope course. You will need to bring at least one more person for the course, so we have a climber and a belayer taking turns. Don't worry about climbing being too hard. You don't need to be strong or in great shape to start climbing. You can choose the level of challenge, and we can do a top rope course on everything from uphill slopes that you can almost walk up, to vertical cliffs. Anyone can start climbing, we just need to start at a suitable difficulty level.
If you want to try climbing on top rope before you sign up for a course, you can book a Try Climbing event with me.
Once you have a green card you can, if you want, continue learning more and get a red card by doing a lead climbing course indoors, or a sport climbing course outdoors. The red card shows that you know how to lead climb and how to belay a lead climber safely indoors.
Outdoors
If you have a green or red card, you can take a sport climbing course and learn all you need to know to be able to climb on top rope and bolted routes outdoors. If you don't have a red card already, you will get one after successfully completing the course.
If instead of climbing on bolted routes, you would prefer to start climbing on protection you place yourself in cracks in the rock, you can take a trad climbing course, called "Grundkurs klippa" or "Grundkurs i klippklättring" in Swedish. There is also a part 2 you can do after you complete the first one.
