Security
What is Green Card / Premium Card?
Grönt kort gäller för topprepsklättring. Alla personer som vill topprepssäkra hos oss på Klättercentret måste göra ett praktiskt och ett teoretiskt prov, en så kallad uppklättring. En uppklättring visar att du har de nödvändiga kunskaperna för topprepssäkring. Om du går en nybörjarkurs hos oss, t.ex. Grundkurs i inomhusklättring, så får du i kursupplägget möjligheten att göra en uppklättring. Som godkänd får du ett bevis på att du är behörig säkringsperson, ett så kallat Grönt kort. Detta kort ska alltid bäras synligt på selen under klättring. Du kan också bli ombedd att visa upp ditt Gröna kort i receptionen.
When you visit the Climbing Center for the first time, you must show your green card at the front desk, or do the tests before securing another person. We have fixed times for climbing.
Remember, you can always bounce without green cards.
Do I have to go for a course if I do not have Green cards?
You already have knowledge of incorporation, fuse, command, equipment management, risks and rules? If so, you can come to one of our facilities and make a climb to take the Green Card / High Speed Card license card. Note that climbing is not an education, but only a check.
If you do not have enough knowledge, or if it was a long time ago climbing ropes, you should go to a basic course in indoor climbing to make sure you can and / or practice.
What is a companion check?
Innan du och din klätterkamrat ska börja topprepsklättra ska ni alltid utföra en s k kamratkontroll. Med “alltid” menar vi för varje led ni klättrar, varje gång ni byter rep och varje gång ni byter den person som klättrar och den som säkrar.
Kamratkontrollen innebär att ett antal saker ska kontrolleras innan klättringen påbörjas. Det är detaljer som kan missas och som du kommer vara tacksam för att du eller din kamrat upptäckt i kamratkontrollen. De saker som kontrolleras rör bl a inknytning, säkring och kommandoord.
Always make comrade control and contribute to a safer climbing environment.
What do you have for age limits?
Att topprepssäkra en annan människa är att ha dennes liv i sina händer. För att vi på Klättercentret ska känna oss trygga med att utfärda ett Grönt kort, d v s tillåtelse att i våra lokaler få säkra en annan person, ska man ha fyllt 15 år. Undantag till detta är om ett barn går i klätterskolan. Då har vi förmånen att följa den personens utveckling och kan göra en individuell bedömning baserat på flera klättertillfällen. I klätterskolan kan man få göra uppklättring från det att man fyllt 12 år, baserat på instruktören bedömning.
In the boulder room we work according to a child - an adult. This means that every child under the age of 12 must have an active and responsible adult with him. Do you have responsibility for several children who want to climb, they have to wait for the floor outside the carpets. You as an adult must also be aware that walls and rugs are not adapted to the children's height and weight, so climb only half way up.
