Foundations of Traditional Climbing (2 Days)

Want to get away from the queues and chaos of sport climbing?  This 2 day course gives you the lowdown on the art of single pitch traditional climbing (using removable gear like cams and wires), from gear selection and placement to belaying, anchor set-up and advanced safety tips.

About the BMCS – QTs Program

After a last minute application to the NSW Department of Sport in 2021, the combined QTs and BMCS teams are ecstatic to hear that we have been awarded a grant with the aims of getting QTs climbing, and telling the world about it! 🌟

This pyramid scheme is not what they usually are – with a tiered progression providing experiences for QTs wanting to get outside for the first time all the way through to a 4 day climbing expedition in the Warrumbungles. There are also courses for just about every level in between.

Because the grant allows these trips to be heavily subsidised, participants (QTs Members) pay only 10% of the course value, removing the bulk of any financial barrier. BMCS have a financial support program for QTs Membership and the remaining cost should this still provide a barrier. 🌈

Another aim of the grant is to show off the great work the QTs do, there will often be the potential to have your course or trip photographed or filmed. We have a privacy plan to make sure this works for everyone 😊.
