Top rope for beginners
The first step in your climbing career is to take the Indoor top rope beginners' course. During this course you will learn the basic principles of sport climbing. If you follow all the lessons and pass the exam you will receive the NKBV Indoor Top Rope (IT) climbing proficiency certificate. With this certificate you are allowed to climb (free with OlymPas!) during the top rope hours at Kalymnos. Click here for more information or here to register.

Climbing technique
In order to start climbing, you do not really have to be very strong. Technique, tactics and mental control are far more important. Sport climbing means you are playing with your balance. Or, according to David Van Reybrouck: “Climbing is vertical ballet”. 
In this course (4 lessons), you will be provided with essential tips and tricks to rapidly improve your climbing skills. You will be taught the basic techniques in order to learn to climb as efficiently as possible.  Click here for more information or here to register.

Lead climbing
This course focuses on learning to lead climb on a climbing wall. You will learn the basics to be able to lead climb safely and independently. If you have ambitions to further improve your rock climbing, this course is a good start. An exam will be taken during the last lesson. With a good result, you will receive the NKBV climbing proficiency certificate Indoor Lead Climbing (IV).  Click here for more information or here to register.
