ACIA SPG Assessments - The ACIA - Australian Climbing Instructors Association SPG qualification is the most appropriate qualification for guiding the full spectrum of climbing activities within single pitch environments (including using trad placed protection, leading clients up single pitch trad routes, leading routes to set up systems, as well as all the standard top rope activities and teaching climbing movement skills).
Whilst it's one of the entry level qualifications it still involves a significant amount of skills, knowledge and experience to complete.

Attending the training requires pre-requisites of being an experienced, keen and competent trad climber, with further consolidation and experience required prior to assessment.
Presenting for assessment is an achievement as having your abilities formally assessed is always challenging.

Well done to those who attended, I look forward to seeing your further development in the future.

Personal climbing - As a professional climbing guide / instructor it is really important to get out and do plenty personal climbing as well as being out climbing for work.
It was great to be out with fellow ACIA - Australian Climbing Instructors Association climbing guide Greg, getting on some great Bluff Knoll routes.
A lot of fun had over a couple of big days.

If you are looking for a climbing guide or instructor to show you around the wonderful world of climbing then look for an ACIA - Australian Climbing Instructors Association qualified guide, these are people with a passion for climbing and a commitment to development and professional standards.

If you are keen for some guided climbing adventures to push your boundaries, or for some skills courses to give you the ability to up your own adventures then check out our website for our programmed courses or get in touch for a chat about what we offer.

Happy Climbing!

Safety Management Systems Audits - the end of February / start of March had me over East completing some SMS audits for a few multi activity adventure camps.
This is a very important process, though unfortunately often not undertaken by many organisations.
Having your SMS and their practical application independently reviewed / audited provides an additional layer of assurance and normally identifies a range of potential safety (or just quality delivery) improvements.

At the same time, I managed to squeeze in a quick trip to the Araps (which is where all the pictures are from), though as SA and West Vic were experiencing a very unusual wet/ stormy weather event it curtailed our activities, we did get to hide in a cave from the rain and squeeze in a climb of the classic tiptoe ridge though.
All adventures, even weather affected ones, are fun.

West Cape Howe experience - guided climbing - It is always great to be out at WCH, and yesterday was a great day for it.
Matthew and Junie had their first outdoor climbing experience here a few years ago, and were keen to get back out and experience the full value of the WCH atmosphere, sea cliffs certainly add an extra bit of challenge to the climbing.
It was great to be back out there with them again.

If you would like to ramp up your adventures then get in touch about our guided climbing or instructional courses, there is plenty adventure fun to be had.

Introduction to Outdoor Climbing Course -

A proper introduction to outdoor climbing is about much, much more than simply learning to tie a few knots and rig some basic systems.

It should be about a broad range of outdoor climbing experiences. Developing understanding, skills, knowledge, and practice with a range of equipment, concepts and systems. Having fun and leaving inspired to get out climbing.

It was great to have Zac and Trent on the course and developing the skills to let them get out and explore their local area more, there are many adventures to be had on the South Coast and plenty fun.

If you are keen to develop skills outdoors, then check out our broad range of courses on offer and get in touch.

South Coast Rock Climb/ Abseil experience -
Not to be deterred by some un-forecasted damp morning weather Lina and Fran got stuck into some fun Outdoor rock climbing.
Their first WA Outdoor climbing experience, and their first "mini" multi pitch experience, all during a day that got better and better with the sun making and appearance to warm things up.

It was great meeting you both, thanks for coming along and hopefully your feeling inspired for more climbing fun.

ACIA - Australian Climbing Instructors Association TRG (Top Rope Guide) training course -
It was great to have Sarah, Paul and Zoe down here over the last four days completing the ACIA - TRG training course.

Four days of focused training developing skills, knowledge and understanding that is required to be good at running top rope guided climbing and abseiling sessions.
From teaching the basics of climbing movement and technique, rigging a range of systems in different context, teaching and supervising climbing and abseiling to being able to problem solve and sort issues, a wide range of skills were covered and practiced.

It was great to work with you all and I look forward to seeing you again in the future after you practice and consolidate the skills developed.

If you have ever thought about guiding or instructing climbing activities, then check out the ACIA qualification scheme.

Custom Guided climbing - Sometimes climbing guiding involves leading people up routes and helping them have new experiences in a safe way, other times the guiding is more around helping people choose the right area, routes and challenge appropriate to their ability and experience and then allowing them to get on lead and have a great time.

As a competent and experienced climber Shad, who was traveling from overseas was keen to get on some fun, quality multi pitch routes whilst here in WA.
So, we headed to Gibraltar rock and Shad got into leading (what I consider to be) some of the most enjoyable routes there (Raven, Dino Junior, Joint Venture).
Always a good day when you get lots of pitches and hundreds of metres of climbing in.

Good job Shad, it was great to meet you and hopefully you enjoy the rest of your WA trip.

Professional Development Training - Navy Adventure Training Unit - A couple of years ago the team from the Navy Adventure Training Unit successfully completed their ACIA - Australian Climbing Instructors Association TRG (Tope Rope Guide) Qualification.
As they are committed to staying current and continuing their development they came down for a few days custom PD training to build and develop their experience, skills and knowledge.

In order to achieve the goals we spent a bit of time in more demanding environments (WCH sea cliffs), completed some scenario-based rescue training, went through the changes and additions to the TRG course, and looked at some more advanced rescue techniques that are not normally required in Top rope environments but are very relevant to the types of activities this team undertake.

Good job guys, it was great to see you down here and I look forward to working with you all again.

NZOIA (New Zealand Outdoor Instructor Association) Symposium and assessor conference -

I am a big fan of genuine Professional development and outdoor instructors maintaining real currency, so it was great to be able to get over to NZ and attend the NZOIA symposium and assessor conference in order to revalidate some of my NZOIA qualifications and get out with other instructors and assessors with different backgrounds and operational experience.

Often within the outdoor industry people will try to justify currency through producing logbooks, this though is very weak, as logbooks are at best a claim of experience, and generally just a claim of repetition (doing the same thing, in the same place, in the same way, with the same types of groups), none of which addresses genuine currency.
The good thing about professional associations (such as NZOIA or the ACIA - Australian Climbing Instructors Association) is that they have requirements around practical professional development and revalidation. Essentially instructors need to attend and contribute to some form of practical day that requires them to share knowledge and operate at their qualification level within a group of their peers.
This ensures genuine currency through information sharing, and through identifying if there has been skills fade among any of the participants.

A great few days that got me thinking and considering many of the aspects around instructing and assessing that I use.
