Lead Climbing

Oasis Climbing has the largest lead climbing walls in Perth, plus a replica wall of Dreamcatcher 5.14d in Canada wall. Our facilities typically 32 lead routes, grades 18 to 30, and are reset twice a week to set fresh climbs.

Lead climbs types include an arête, bridge, slab, overhang, crack-wall and chimney climb.

As lead Climbing carries a much greater risk and responsibility than Top Rope Climbing - we ask that you to:

complete a Lead Climbing Waiver before you start
bring your own rope, belay devices and carabiners that you are experienced in using
have an experienced buddy and pass a lead climbing assessment monitored by one of our staff

You can attempt one test per day. After passing, we will give you approval to lead in our system and a Lead pass tag.

What is Lead climbing ?

“Lead Climbing” means climbing while clipping the rope into fixed protection points as the climber ascends, rather than being secured from above. It requires more time on the wall and more skills in clipping, balancing, and communications. “Lead Belaying” means managing rope slack and catching falls during a lead climb using an approved belay device and technique.
