Queenstown Climbing Club is running its 2nd Risk Management Workshop on the 16th of January.

This will build on the 1st workshop and again help better manage and eliminate risk when sports climbing outdoors. The workshop will run for around 2 hours and will be held at Magnum Wall, Gorge Road, Queenstown.

To book your place email queenstownclimbing@gmail.com with your:

- name
- contact phone number
- club membership number and
- a brief summary of your experience lead climbing outdoors.

Places are limited to 12 and workshop is lead by a local Rock 2 qualified instructor and Alpine Cliff Rescue team member.

The workshops are free and only open to existing Queenstown Climbing Club members. For the second workshop we recommend it is best for those with some regular outdoor lead climbing experience.

Key areas covered will likely include - Belaying, abseiling, use of prusik, creating advanced anchors, lead falling (to be decided), managing issues on the wall.

Note: The workshops will not cover climbing techniques and the Queenstown Climbing Club doesn't have responsibility for you or your ability to climb safely. The primary focus is to provide information and techniques to help you minimise and eliminate risk when climbing by teaching best practices in each area covered.
