Top rope and Lead climbing
Top rope belaying and lead climbing and belaying at Klättercentret requires a national climbing license. For top rope belaying the green license is sufficient. For lead climbing and lead belaying the red license is needed. There is also a Yellow license which gives you access to our autobelays.
If you don’t have either of these licenses, but have the proper knowledge and skill, you can take the exam (called uppklättring, in Swedish). The exam consists of a short written test followed by a practical test. If you pass these you will receive the green or the red license, depending on which test you take.
You can take the exam with a GriGri, Jul2 or a rope break off a slot model (ATC, Verso etc).
Want to book this exam? Please fill out this form and we will contact you within a few days to complete your booking.
