 Joint Services Rock Climbing Scheme
By Lt Col G S Nicholls
As a result of working group studies earlier this year, some changes have been made to the Rock Climbing courses run at Centres. The main change is that the old Top Roping and Abseiling (TR&A) Course has been discontinued. Members should note that the TR&A qualification has been withdrawn and that individuals wishing to supervise these activities should attend the Rock Leader Training (RLT) Course.
The notes below give an outline of the current Rock-Climbing Scheme. All courses last 5 working days.
There is now a system of “fast tracking” whereby competent climbers can enter the scheme at a point appropriate to their experience. However, proof of experience, normally in the form of a logbook, will be required.Full details of courses may be found in JSP 419 and DCls.
Any questions? Phone the JSMTC Courses Clerk on Civil 01248-715635 or Military 781581 Ext 7905.
