Intro course
Get the best start at Aalborg Klatreklub!
If you are new to the club, it is mandatory to participate in an intro course. At the intro course, you will learn the most important things about the club, about climbing, and you will meet some of your new climbing buddies! During the evening, we will introduce you to our facilities and show you how to boulder safely. Before you head home, you will get your electronic key so you can access the club 24/7 and work on your climbing skills whenever you wish.
Program:
We meet in the kitchen which is located on the first floor above the entrance, and start with a short introduction round. Then we will give you a tour of the club and show you all the facilities you can use with your membership. We will tell you about the club culture, opportunities and go over safety — both on the floor and on the walls.
After the tour, we head to the bouldering area where we will demonstrate climbing techniques and share some tips. From there, it is up to you whether you want to keep climbing on your own or hang out with us for the rest of the evening.
We cannot wait to show you your new hangout!
Belay course
In order to climb sport routes on the club’s high walls, you are required to complete and pass a belay course. This ensures you know how to climb safely on ropes. If you have no interest in sport climbing, then you do not need a belay course - bouldering requires no belaying so no certificate is needed.
You need to have participated the intro course before you can join the belay course.
In this course, you will learn top-rope climbing, lead climbing and the necessary belay techniques. The belay course runs over four sessions, and you will need to attend all of them to pass. Once you have passed the course, you will receive a belay certificate and a club tag for your harness. The tag shows which course you have taken (top-rope or lead) and ensures that you are allowed to climb on the high walls.

Price: 750 DKK (paid upon registration)
For the belay course, you will be able to borrow climbing gear from the club.
If you have any questions, you can contact the course and instructor coordinator at mail: sikringskursus@aalborgklatreklub.dk. If you have already completed a belay course in another club and have a valid certificate, you can contact the coordinator at the same email to get a club tag for your harness.
All of the club’s instructors are certified climbing wall instructors in both top-rope and lead through Klatring Danmark, and they follow their standards.
When you have completed both the intro course and the belay course, you have covered the equivalent of Klatring Danmark’s course 1 and course 2.
