Top Rope Verification

TOP ROPE BELAY VERIFICATION

About Top Rope Belay Verification Generally, no prior climbing /belaying experience or verification is required for climbing on the Top Rope and Auto Belay walls at Climb Central. During your first visit, our staff will demonsrate appropriate belay methods during the safety briefing.

Verification is a skills check to ensure that climbers are able to demonstrate competency to climb & belay using an Assisted Braking Device (ABD). Verification is required to access the lead wall, or to use belay methods other than that described in our safety briefing. It is applicable to all climbers regardless of prior experience /certification as the emphasis is on the climber/belayer's ability to demonstrate the required skills.

To understand the Top Rope Belay requirements, refer to the test matrix here: Top Rope Verification Matrix

Notes:
- Verification must be done on an ABD as our facility requires ABD usage on the lead walls.
- Before signing up, you are advised to read the test matrix above and be familiar with the requirements and ABD usage.
- After passing verification, you will receive a Verification tag that is recognised at Climb Central, Ground Up (Formerly Climb Asia) and Onsight Climbing. Verifications taken at either Ground Up or Onsight are also recognised at Climb Central as the test requirements are the same. If you have already taken the Lead Climb and Belay Verification, you do not need to take the Top Rope Belay Verification.
- After your Top Rope Belay verification, you will be able to use your personal belay devices (both tubular & ABD) on the top rope walls to prepare for lead climbing.

$10.90 (GST incl.) verification fee per pax for each verification.

Climbers who are attending the verification (including those who have been verified and are accompanying), will need to check in and pay for their entry.

*Sign ups must be in pairs. Please find your own partner who is either already verified, or taking the verification with you.
