Lead Test

Prepaid Test:

1 hour. Actual length is usually 30-45 minutes, but we schedule an hour to ensure we have enough time if things run a little slowly.

Pricing:

$25+tax

Registration:

Max Registration: 2
Min Registration: 1
 

NOTE: As the test does require you to lead belay another climber, we ask that if you are signing up solo you do have someone who is already lead certified at East Peak to come with you. Please call or email the gym after you've made your booking to let us know who will be your partner for the test.

Prerequisites:

Age 14+
Participants must pass the East Peak Belay Test prior to participating in the Lead Test.
Participants must be able to easily climb a 5.9 without resting.

I don’t know how to lead belay but I want to lead climb, can pass a test for just lead climbing?
Yes, if you want to only be certified for lead climbing or lead belaying let our staff know when you sign up. Please note that if you later want to get certified in the other area you will have to book and pay for a second test.

What belay devices do you accept at the gym?
We only accept Gri-Gri or ATC belay devices, we do not allow other assisted braking, or geometry assisted belay devices at this time.

Am I allowed to use my Ohm in the gym?
Yes. We also have one available to rent out if needed.

My belay partner is significantly lighter than me, are we able to lead climb together?
It is recommended to find a lead partner that is within 150% of your weight. However, there are tactics to assist with this issue, chat with a manager or email us at info@eastpeakclimbing.ca so that we can discuss your specific scenario.
