Course Content

This course offers an introduction to bouldering and sport climbing indoors. Starting with theoretical basics, the first units explain techniques, which can then be applied on the climbing wall. In addition to equipment knowledge, the focus of the course will also be on safety.

This course can only be taken online. It should be noted that the videos are not a training course in rope climbing. A practical course is very important for learning safety techniques and how to use safety equipment. This course was created as part of a final thesis, and the intention ist to combine this course with practical elements.

Course Goals
