Personal climbing ability:
Lead a multi-pitch traditional rock climb (no. of pitches: ≥4 at grade:≥17) with at least one assessor accompanying the climb.
The climb must be completed in good and safe style and the assessor may at their discretion ask for certain safety or rescue skills to be demonstrated.
This practical examination must form part of the overall assessment and may not be by-passed.
Courses (and associated assessment) aimed at the abseiling, hiking and rock climbing supervisor responsible for group activities.
Courses are designed to flow in a complimentary system toward each level. Some systems (R.I.A / K.I.A) require additional modules as their scope of operation overlaps with those programs. For example a Rock or Kloofing Instructor requires Walking Group Leader as a supplement. Likewise an M.I.A can have Kloofing exclusion.
