HALF DAY INTRODUCTION

This courses is for everyone it is a fun 4 hours. It's enable the students to give rock climbing a go with the safety of been with an instructor. The climbing area is a 5-minute walk from the office. First all students are fitted out with a climbing harness and shoes. The instructor demonstrates how to belay and safety knots used. The instructor climbs the route (lead climb) fixes a rope through an anchor (safety point). Now it's the student turn to climb (top rope) which means the rope is above the person it is very safety. So if needed to rest or let go of the rock the student is safe by the rope maximum distance to fall is only 20 cm which is only the stretch of the rope. In a half day the student experience climbs from 10 metres to 27 metres high.
Starts everyday; 9am & 2pm

King Climbers has been established for over ten years. We offer a wide range of courses to meet all levels of climbing ability. It doesn't matter how old or young, unfit or uncoordinated, our instructors will find something you'll enjoy climbing.

For those who want to be severely challenged we have over 500 routes in the area! We offer three standard courses (see below). These courses are geared for complete beginners and intermediate climbers. If you are interested in doing something else, or wish to extend a course, then we will be more then happy to accommodate you.

Equipment
The courses include our guide and all equipment and insurance. The only thing you need to bring is your camera! We keep our guide to student at one guide with no more than four students ensuring high teaching standards.

For those who are not familiar with climbing here is a brief explanation of some of the terms used to describe the courses:

Top rope climbing
This is the way you will start out climbing. Your instructor will first climb to the top of the route and loop the rope through a fixed anchor. Once back on the ground you will be attached to one end of the rope which runs through the anchor at the top of the climb and back down to the instructor. A belay device is a fail-safe device which lets the instructor keep your rope tight. While you climb the instructor tightens the rope, keeping it firm so that if you slip you are safe, or if you get tired you can let go and be suspended in your harness in complete safety.

This is a great way to learn which leaves you plenty of time and energy to concentrate on climbing or to simply enjoy the view.

Lead climbing
We only teach lead climbing on our three day courses. Lead climbing means that the student has to climb up with the rope clipping it into carabiners as they go. This allows the student to feel the thrill of all aspects of the sport as well as giving the confidence to be able to go out and climb with friends after the course.

In Thailand all leading is done on stainless steel bolts that have been drilled into the rock. The lead climber on ascending the route clips onto the bolts and clips the rope through quick draws. This is the safest and easiest way to lead a climb. Due to the nature of limestone rock all routes are bolted and therefore we are unable to offer any courses on natural protection climbing.

Rappelling
Rappelling, also known as abseiling, is a means by which climbers lower themselves off the rock. Climbers put the rope through a belay device attached to their harness. They then slide down the rope using the belay device to control the speed of their descent. This not only makes for good pictures but is great fun!

Safety
We have never had an accident on one of our courses, and we'd like to keep it that way. However this doesn't mean we aren't prepared. All of our instructors are trained in first aid and emergency and we provide insurance for the duration of our courses.
