Financial Freedom - Sports Climbing Course Level 1



Yesterday morning, went to Tessensohn Civil Service Club to attend the 1 day Sports Climbing Course Level 1. The registeration fee was $50 and a total of about 12 people had turned up for this event. At 10.23, we proceeded our way to a small classroom where we learnt the use of correct harness usage, figure of 8 knot, different types of walls, maintenance of equipments...

Climbing Course Level 1 are only eligible for Top-rope climbing. Climbers will need to tie the figure of 8 knot to the harness and whereas for the belayer, their job is to protect or cushion the climbers fall. This is done by ensuring the SMF and rope are fasten together with the carabiner.

Everyone did their practices near the indoor wall before heading for lunch. After the break, were we then started our first step on the wall! At that moment, I can felt the Adrenalin pumping from where I started till reaching to the top. Of course, there were negative thinkings which crossed my mind like "what if the rope snaps or what if the knot was loose..the consequences would caused serious injury or even death"...Despite all these, my partner and I continued to move on to reach the top.

I really enjoyed myself and also got to know many new friends as well. At the end of the course, everyone was given a certificate in a wallet size format, booklet and 1 free climb ( expire 3 months). Can't wait to climb again...
