lead climbing! there are two types of sport climbing - top rope and lead. top rope has a rope pre-installed. with lead, you bring the rope with you and clip in on the way up gyms require you take separate certification tests to do either of them top rope is much easier + safer, but when you climb outdoors, someone needs to “lead” the route in order to set up a top rope anchor for the other climbers

Ahh, I got it, your gym requires it. I’m from a place where nobody bothers with that, so was surprising. You get the into and then go belay a dude 2x your weight and learn along the way😂

my gym network is notoriously hard-ass about it 😭 a mutual friend had to test 7 times my second-to-last-time they told me it was an A grade, but they would only certify me if i got an A+ 😔 if i don't pass on thursday, gonna have to just practice IRL outdoors and come back lol
