We’re serious about safety. If you’re an experienced lead climber but new to Urban Climb, you’ll need to undertake this free technical assessment before you lead at any of our gyms. This helps us to ensure the safety of all our lead climbers and belayers, so we can all climb with maximum confidence.

Prior to doing a lead assessment you must first have completed a top-rop induction at the facility. 


Assessment duration is approximately 30 minutes

You will need a partner to complete the lead climbing assessment. The climber can already have their lead pass at Urban Climb, or can be with you in taking the assessment together for the first time. 

You must have completed a top-rope demo in order to be able to go through a lead assessment. Top-rope demos run every 30 mnutes. 

Ohm** - If you would like to use one due to the weight varienance between you and your climbing partner.
