Accreditation
An accreditation is required at Allez Up if you want belay other climbers. If you do not pass the accreditation, you must take our Learn to Climb and Belay course.
The Allez Up accreditation is earned by passing a test in which the climber proves to our staff that he/she understands the responsibility involved in belaying another climber, and can demonstrate that he/she is absolutely at ease with equipment, knots, belay technique and communications with the climber.
Our accreditations require the belayer to earn a score of 85/100 points on a test. Our instructors will not provide coaching.
Accreditations must be passed immediately upon entering the gym, before climbing. It is not permitted to “practice” or to receive instruction from another climber before taking the accreditation test.
Allez Up’s accreditation test is strict but fair. However, please do not attempt to pass an accreditation if you have not been properly instructed, or you have not climbed in a long time. You will almost certainly fail and we do not provide refunds on accreditations under any circumstance.
