This course is useful for people with significant indoor sport lead climbing teaching experience and those who are solid at outdoor lead climbing at a minimum grade of 5.8. This course is designed to bridge the gap between indoor climbing instruction and outdoor climbing instruction. The curriculum provides foundational skills and knowledge to successfully instruct and manage groups in an outdoor sport climbing setting. The scope of this course is limited to sites where there is either non-technical access to bolted top anchors, or where the bolted anchors can be reached via a non-technical approach and sport leading. Placement of traditional climbing protection (cams, hexes, nuts, tri-cams, etc.) is beyond the scope of the Sport Climbing Instructor course and certification.
