PCIA Assessment. December (this is a private course)

This course is designed to bridge the gap between indoor climbing instruction and outdoor climbing instruction. Because this course is designed as an adjunct to the PCIA Climbing Wall Instructor course, it requires that all participants be certified as CWI-Lead or higher. The purpose of this course is to allow CWI-Leads who already have the teaching and risk management skills, to be evaluated in outside instruction in a sport climbing setting. It is designed to provide supplemental knowledge and specialized skills that will allow the Sport Climbing Instructor to effectively operate at outdoor climbing sites The scope of this course is limited to sites where there is either non technical access to bolted top anchors, or where the bolted anchors can be reached via a non technical approach and sport leading. Placement of traditional climbing protection (cams, hexes, nuts, tri-cams, etc.) is beyond the scope of the Sport Climbing Instructor course and certification.
