Advanced climbing course for lead climbing
This course is for children and adults who have already completed the top-rope course and have some climbing experience. You’ll learn the correct belaying technique for lead climbing, how to clip the rope correctly on lead, climbing tactics and more climbing technique.
Falling is part of lead climbing – so we do a short fall training session in which you are gradually introduced to falling correctly and catching falls.
The top-rope course is a prerequisite. We provide the equipment if you don’t have your own yet. Admission to the climbing gym is not included in the price.

Course location
The course takes place at the Alpenverein Ried climbing gym: Messeplatz 3a, 4910 Ried im Innkreis.
What’s next?
After the lead climbing course, the way outdoors is open to you: the rock climbing course takes you onto real rock, and in the multi-pitch preparation course you prepare for big walls. You’ll find all courses in the climbing course overview.
Included
- State-certified climbing instructor
- Complete climbing equipment
Not included: Climbing gym admission
