Semester teaching cycle
Compulsory weekly attendance at academics , with or without assessment.
2 hours per week
12 sessions/semester

- All equipment is on loan, including slippers, but please bring your own.
- There's no "free" practice, and classes are structured along the following lines:
warm-up together, work on safety, confidence-building, motor skills, route management, commitment, depending on your level.
- Free chalk is FORBIDDEN, but balls and liquid chalk are permitted.

- Safely climb routes and boulders with different profiles, requiring a variety of motor skills, at your maximum level, using top-roping, top-roping or lead climbing for routes.
- Plan and manage your progress as effectively as possible: read the route, the boulder, identify the stages, the rhythm, the movements, the SMBs, the final pit, the coordinations.
- Know your maximum level and commit to the route or boulders without exposing yourself, remaining focused until the end of the itinerary.
- Know how to warm up to successfully complete routes or boulders within your max or infra level.
- Use appropriate techniques to ensure your own and your climber's safety, whatever the climbing method (top-roping, top-roping, lead climbing, bouldering parrying).

- Evaluation of performance and motor skills on 2 routes within maximum level, with different wall profiles (difficulty, complexity, support profiles, types of movements involved..., cf. quantative criteria) in top-roping for a 1st semester of practice, in top-roping or in lead climbing for a 2d (or +) semester of practice.
- Evaluation of performance and motor skills in 3 boulders at the max level, with different wall profiles (difficulty, complexity, support profiles, types of movement involved..., cf. qualitative criteria).
- Evaluation of safety content throughout the semester and during the assessment.
