PREGUNTAS MÁS FRECUENTES

How do I get the card?
You can take the test with one of our technicians at any Sharma Climbing center the first time you come to the climbing gym.

To ensure your safety and that of everyone else, the card is personal and non-transferable, and it must always be visible while you climb.(in the harness).

How much does the test cost?
Nothing, it is a completely free test in which the climber’s skills with the equipment are checked.
It is a test, not a climbing course. If you are interested, you can review the climbing courses offered at each center.

Do I have to repeat the same test every time I go to Sharma Climbing centers?
No, unless you lose your corresponding color card.
What belay devices can I use at Sharma Climbing?

In our facilities, you can only use the Grigri (1, 2, 2+ renewed, and plus) for belaying.

What rope do I have to use for climbing at Sharma Climbing?

The ropes must have a minimum length of 50m, be certified for single use, and have a diameter approved by the Grigri.

Is the use of a helmet mandatory?

In the auto belay area, it is not allowed to use the helmet due to the risk of getting stuck and hanging from it. In the top rope and lead climbing area, it is highly recommended but not mandatory.

Can I use headphones while climbing?

You cannot use any device that isolates you audibly because, in case of accident prevention, everyone must have their auditory channel available to receive instructions, act, and/or assist. It is also not allowed to climb with anything that poses a risk of falling, such as headphones, phones, etc.

Can I practice safety maneuvers at Sharma Climbing?

Yes, but only in the designated areas on the ground.
Can I practice "false first" climbing in the self-belay area?
No, there are no quickdraws in the self-belay area.
¿Can I use a harness with a single ventral loop?
Yes, but only in the self-belay and top-rope area.
Do you have any more questions?

You can ask any of our technicians in the facility.
