Skills

Develop rope skills with our accredited skills courses to keep yourself and your mates safe with practical, efficient, and best-practise setups.

Top Rope Setup Course

The Pinnacle Sports Top Rope course covers all of the rope skills necessary to build top rope anchors, resulting in a nationally accredited certification. We run the course over two days, the first day in the Glass House Mountains and the second at Kangaroo Point (Brisbane). Everything is practical; you'll be building the anchors yourself and climbing on them! There are preliminary comprehensive exams sent prior to the start date which must be completed. This is a great option for those looking to get into the world of outdoor climbing and are looking for some rope skills to get started safely.

Abseil Course

Our Abseiling Course teaches you how to set up anchors for abseiling and how to abseil safely down natural rock features. Abseiling is a vital skill in the world of rock climbing, and doing it with proper safety measures is essential as it is often the most dangerous part of vertical navigation.

The course runs over a single day in the Glass House Mountains. It is also fully accredited, so you will come out with evidence of your learning.

Sport Lead Course

If you want to climb self-sufficiently at any sport climbing crag, lead climbing is an essential skill. It allows you to climb cliffs bottom-up with nothing but what's on your harness. It is tricky to do properly and safely, however, as there is lots of nuance and protocol - which is why Pinnacle offers a thorough and all-inclusive and thorough two day course to give you the skills you need to get out to the crag. The course takes place at a variety of outdoor climbing locations.
