Topping Out - Tower Training
Topping Out is a climbing tower instructor's course for adults.
Climb on Safely is a prerequisite, and may be taken online at My.Scouting.org.
Topping Out is a two-part training. Part one is tower training and part two is real rock training. The classes must be attended in the correct sequence. Register for part two (real rock training) at shac.org/climbing.
During Topping Out, participants learn about climbing equipment such as cams, stoppers, hexs, and anchors. Participants also learn how to effectively supervise climbing and rappelling activities at the SHAC’s climbing towers and Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. Individuals who satisfactorily demonstrate the skills necessary to be an instructor will receive tower instructor status.
