Mock Lead Climbing, While this may seem like an elementary climbing skill, it’s still used by the best climbers. Lead 1 is taught monthly and covers the fundamentals of lead climbing skills such as proper clipping methods, identifying dangerous foot placements, mock leading, mock lead belaying, and rope management. Learn the essential skills and techniques of lead climbing and be ready for the next level! We will cover the considerations and practice the skills to move from top rope climbing to lead climbing. Like mock lead climbing, the best way to practice lead belaying is to have the climber still attached to a top rope, meaning that you will need a third person. I'm sure most of y'all are familiar with typical mock leading- climbing a route on toprope while pulling a second rope and clipping draws/placing gear to get a feel for leading/trad with a little extra safety if you screw up. It's a darn shame. The one potential downfall is the lack of "realism"- if you fall on mock lead, you're held by a toprope. LEAD CLIMBING GUIDE Thanks for learning how to lead climb at Mesa Rim!
